Hi,

You have to transform the Hex code to binary (make packs of 4 bits):
0F12 = 0000 1111 0001 0010
0 F 1 2

Then, you have a binary number that can be interpreted as decimal using base2:

0*2^15+0*2^14+0*2^13+0*2^12+1*2^11+1*2^10+1*2^9+1* 2^8+0*2^7+0*2^6+0* 2^5+1*2^4+0*2^3+0*2^2+1*2^1+0*2^0 = 3858

The bit X is multiplied by 2^(position of the bit)

• QString::number()
• QString::toInt()

Both take base as parameter.
