Encoder with gray code to decimal

Hello,

I need to use a absolute gray code encoder with 10 bits. Looking for information on gray code and linuxcnc I found a component that is called gray2bin that converts a u32 to u32.

My first question is to understand if is needed to use a gray code to a "decimal like" value to be used as a u32, correct?
For example the gray code:

bit 9 1
bit 8 1
bit 7 1
bit 6 0
bit 5 1
bit 4 0
bit 3 1
bit 2 1
bit 1 1
bit 0 1

should be converted to the number 1110101111 to be the input of the gray converter?
If so, is the u32 type capable of holding such a big number?
EDIT: Yes it is:
u32 - a 32 bit unsigned integer, legal values are 0 to 4,294,967,295

Thank you

Yes, gray2bin works with up to 32 bits.

Based on gray2bin source code we are trying to implement this conversion on our custom hal component, but without sucess...

the relevant part of code is this:

with the following bits:



the result is:
15670030.0


that is clearly wrong as a binary number is expected. The correct result should be: 11111100

What I am doing wrong?

Code:

in = bit0 + bit1*10 + bit2*100 + bit3*1000 + bit4*10000 + bit5*100000 + bit6*1000000 + bit7*10000000 + bit8*100000000 + bit9*1000000000;

This is wrong.

You want to multiply by binary constants. This _might_ work or will give a compiler error
However, what I would do is the fractionally more efficient:

Thank you! with the last solution it works
