Easily Counting Bits – bin/dec/hex converter
Dealing with registers could sometime be a straining job. To make my work somewhat easier I developed a small tool which is basically a bin/dec/hex converter aiming embedded developers which have to deal with hardware registers a lot. It\'s capable displaying bit positions as well as manipulating single bits.
Registerer is developed using the Qt Framework.
Full source code is available on GitHub: https://github.com/MikeBergmann/Registerer
Usage is pretty simple:
Enter a number in the number field and press enter. Prefix the number with 0b in case you enter a binary or 0x if you enter a hex number.
CTRL-d (or d[isplay] button) will toggle through dec/hex/bin.
You may show a bit position pointer by entering the position into the pos field.
CTRL-t (or the t[oggle] button) will toggle the bit at the position pointed by \'Pos\'.Examples:
Convert binary 10101010 to hex:
Enter 0b10101010 into \'Number\' and press CTRL-d twice.Create a hex number with bit 31 is one:
Enter 0x0 into \'Number\' to indicate you want a hex.
Enter 31 into \'Pos\' and press CTRL-t (or the t button).Create a binary number with bit 15 is one
Enter 0b0 into \'Number\' to indicate you want a binary.
Enter 15 into \'Pos\' and press CTRL-t (or the t button).
I would be happy if you tell me if you like the tool, or if you have some feature missing.
