Displaying a 16 bit integer on PIC 16F877?
So, I've been playing around with a 16F877, and I got my hands on one of the kit gyros, and am trying to write my own code for it. I've got it mostly working, but I need to display a 16 bit integer to figure out what constitutes a 90 degree turn. But, the PIC doesn't want to do it. I can't for the life of me get it to output a 16 bit integer (that I can understand) to the debugger using a printf. I've tried %ld, but it didn't give me the right number. Is there some other trick (or formatting) I can use?
