Send Number over UART

[QMESAR]

Hi Team,
I am struggeling to understand what I am doing wrong,
I have the Voltage of AN0 in a Float variable example 3.338xxx then I load the value into a Long variable for the component macro SendNumber
in the debugger I see now iin the LoadSignal(the ANO Voltage) 3.338 but in the TestNumber Variable(Long) I only see the 3 the decimal part is missing
this is also to for the value received on the other end the 3 is received but the decimal part is missing.
What am I doing wrong ,I also tried to convert the 3.338 to a string and send the string that also clips the decimal part.
Not that I think this is relevant however just for the exception PIC18F26K80 .

Pleas help the old man

P2.jpg (36.9 KiB) Viewed 1905 times

here for example the value was 2.9200 I only receive the 2

Hi,
Yes, transferring a float value into an integer variable you will lose the fractional part
try this ... where 3 is the precision

Code: Select all

LoadSignal = 3.338
Text = FloatToString$ (LoadSignal,3)

Thanks a million Leigh

I appreciate you pulling me out of the endless loop
