MATLAB: Convert binary to decimal is not correct.

binary convertionMATLAB

Hi everyone,
I have the following code
value=[bitget(binary_data(1),4:-1:1),...
              bitget(binary_data(2),8:-1:1),...
              bitget(binary_data(3),8:-1:1),...
              bitget(binary_data(4),8:-1:1)]             
value=bi2de(value,2,'left-msb')
The output is not according to what used to be. Any hints what might be the problem?
value =
    Columns 1 through 25
      0    1    1    0    0    0    1    1    1    0    0    0    1    1    0    1    0    1    0    1    1    1    0    0    0
    Columns 26 through 28
      0    0    1
value =
    255
Thank you

Best Answer

value = bi2de(double(value),2,'left-msb')
You were working with uint8, so the arithmetic was being done in uint8, which "saturates" at 255.
