    How to send 4 bit data

    Hi

    assume I have 8 bit string and I want to send higher nibble to LCD then want to send lower nibble bit to LCD

    Code:
    #include<stdio.h>
    
    void main (){
    	
    	unsigned char buffer[8]= {"12345678"}; // MSB to LSB 
    	//first call -> send higer nibble 1234
    	//second call -> send lower nibble 5678
    }
    
    
    void send ( unsigned  char *pointer) {
    	
    }
    any help would be appreciated.

    Something like
    Code:
    for ( i = 0 ; i < 8 ; i++ ) {
      send(buffer[i] & 0xF);  // lower 4 bits
      send((buffer[i]>>4) & 0xF);  // upper 4 bits
    }
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    Just for the record; your "unsigned char buffer[8]" is an array of 8 bytes and it is not 0-terminated so it is not a C-string...
