How to convert BYTE to char ??

[Guest_imported]

Hy everybody,

can anybody tell me how to convert BYTE to char ??
The Problem is, I want to send characters ( ASCII ) to the com port, but I've got to calculate it before, so I need the BYTE type !

I used the following solution, but I don't know if it's a stable solution:

BYTE byti;
char zchn;
byti= .....;
zchn=(char) bity;

Can anybody help me ??
Thanks,
SAM

That's usually the way I do it, and I haven't had much trouble with that. I think that it just interprets the 8 bits as ASCII instead of 8 plain bits.

MWB.
As always, I hope that helped!
