ASCII Display otion for U8 (Char?)

Status: New

Whenever I have to do Serial programming or general instrument communications, I'm always googling an ASCII table to see the U8 values to STX, LF and so on.

 

While one might argue that simply printing a table or memorising the values should suffice, I'd love to see an ASCII display option for U8 so that I can immediately see how my serial ports are being set up for termination character and so on.

It would be cool for single-character strings also but I'm unsure as to how this could be implemented properly....

 

That's all folks

I would suggest http://www.asciitable.com/ as a reference.  Just in case it's needed.....

Do you mean you don't drink your coffee out of a mug with the ASCII table printed on it? Hand over your geek badge...

Why not just create a U8 ring with the ASCII info? This won't be localizable for the upper bit, but should give you the control chars.

I have created an Enum with all the ascii values.

It's available for dowload here.
