how can i convert an ascii character to a number?
Hi roverboy,
when it's only one char you can use "typecast" to convert to an U8 number. Or you take "string to U8 array" and pick the first element...

A string will be converted to an array of U8.
Unless you convert a single character.

Well, yur question is not clear at all, for example if the ASCII character is 0..9, it already IS a number! 🙂
You need to define what kind of number you want. A typical use would be to convert it to the U8 number that has the same bit pattern as the character. In this cas you would typecast it to a U8. Anyway, from your question it is not clear what you need, so please be more specific.
Give an example!
If the ASCII charcter is "1", should the output be decimal 1 or 49? BIg difference, but both could be correct depending on what you actually want.
