In Atmel Studio 7 watch window the signed numbers are displaying in hexadecimal. How do I get them to display as a regular integer?

This topic has a solution.

Right click the value in the watch window. The popup lets you turn off the hex formatting.

Not just signed numbers, surely?

 

As Jim says, you have just 2 options to cover everything: Hex or not.

Top Tips:

  1. How to properly post source code - see: https://www.avrfreaks.net/comment... - also how to properly include images/pictures
  2. "Garbage" characters on a serial terminal are (almost?) invariably due to wrong baud rate - see: https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/serial-communication
  3. Wrong baud rate is usually due to not running at the speed you thought; check by blinking a LED to see if you get the speed you expected

If it is NOT hex formatted, it will take the display format from the data type. If it is an unsigned integer, it will show it that way. If it is a signed integer, it will show it as signed.

 

By using the right-click, you can change the format of any individual watch variable, so that they do NOT have to all be the same. That hex/not-hex selection may also control the format for newly added watch variables; don't remember that behavior, for certain.

I thought I tried that but I guess I hadn't. Thanks!
