WriteSerial( DBG_USART, ADC_val );

Perhaps you should convert the number into ASCII before pushing it out to the serial port?

{

char buffer[32];

sprintf(buffer,''%d'',ADC_val);

WriteSerial( DBG_USART, buffer );

}

Indeed!

The commented-out lines suggest that she might have been trying to do that:

//strcat(ADC_val,'':'');

//sprif(ADC_val,ADC_val);

But there seem to be some basic problems there with (lack of) understanding how strings work in the 'C' programming language...?

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.
A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.
