How can i convert char from UART to int in mikroC ?

My below code to loop the number of times according to the character send from uart, does not work, can anybody help ?

void main(){
unsigned char txt[2];
int y,rot;
char on[10];   // char table to store received string
int intme;
trisb=0x00;
portb=0x00;
 
    UART1_Init(9600);
 
 
 
// Check if character is ready for reading and read it.
        if (UART1_Data_Ready() == 1) {
        on[0] = UART1_Read();   // read one character from uart
        on[1] = '\0';           // insert terminating zero
}
 
 
 
          for(rot=0; rot<=atoi(on );  rot++)
          {
 
                 PORTB=0b00010000; delay_ms(200);
                 PORTB=0b00001000; delay_ms(200);
 
                 }
                 }

 

Well, for one thing, the number of braces does not match. Does this even compile?

Is UART1 intrinsic or does it require an include? Where are the fucntions defined?

As for the line 'for (rot=0; rot<=atio(on ); rot++)' ??? Where is atio() defined? Which value of on[] are you after? only 0 and 1 have been loaded.

Well, don't quite know what to say.

 

atoi is inbuilt function
Uart1 also inbuilt

the braces are matched and compiled, but when i copy pasted, it didnt matched
i want the dynamic values of on[] . that is whatever i sent from uart.

 

Which PIC are you using?

 

You fail to wait for a character to be received.

You check once to see if a character is ready, but at start-up, first time through, there will be no character ready.

You need to keep checking UART ready, and do not continue until a character is ready

 

Which PIC are you using?

i am using 16f877a

 

yes, i made it loop onetime,

but how can i make it continous loop ?

 

ohh , yes , its working now
