ybox2 base64 encoder
Posted on Friday, February 13th, 2009 at 10:04 pmI have created a functional base64 encoding method for the ybox.
It’s not ideal as it requires the programmer to declare an output array large enough to hold the result of the encoding procedure. I tried everything I could think of to avoid this by using the size of the input string (strsize(in_ptr)*(4/3)) to store the output, but I couldn’t get it.
Download the updated base64.spin.
Sample usage:
CON
_clkmode = xtal1 + pll16x
_xinfreq = 5_000_000OBJ
text : “TV_Text”
b64 : “base64″VAR
byte outstring[25]PUB start | i
text.start(12)b64.encode(string(“admin:admin”), @outstring)
text.str(@outstring)
text.out(13)b64.encode(string(“admin:password”), @outstring)
text.str(@outstring)
text.out(13)b64.encode(string(“Die SPIN Die!”), @outstring)
text.str(@outstring)
text.out(13)b64.encode(string(“meh”), @outstring)
text.str(@outstring)repeat
And a sample image from the above code:

If anyone has any tips that can help get rid of the need to declare the output variable’s size, please let me know. Tim
