SPIS example: print decimals

[Watermelon]

Hello,

I'm running the SPIS example from Keil (SDK 15.0), but I want to print out the received as the decimal value instead of as a string. If I change %s to a %d in this line:

NRF_LOG_INFO(" Transfer completed. Received: %s",(uint32_t)m_rx_buf);

the value printed is always "536870920", regardless of what data I send. I assume this is the address the pointer is pointing to. This works:

NRF_LOG_INFO(" Transfer completed. Received: %d", m_rx_buf[0]);

but I can only print it in 8 bit chunks, how do I print a 16-bit number? Or how can I merge two of the 8-bit array entries into one 16-bit variable?

Also, I will be sending this 16-bit number over BLE, can I send it directly or will I have to send it as two 8-bit values?

Thank you!

If the data is being sent as a string - ie ASCII-coded characters; a '5' and then a '3' and then a '6', etc - then you will have to convert it to a number before you can handle it as a number.

This is standard 'C' stuff - nothing specifically to do with Keil or Nordic.

I'm sending my data as bits from an FPGA to the nRF52832. But the data is read as ASCII on the transceiver instead as decimal, so for example 01100001 is read as "a", but I want to print it as "97".

I just realized I could cast one of them as int_16, shift it and then add the other int_8.  This was standard C, lol my bad
