This post is just for a personal reminder after reading discussions from elsewhere about storing and reading float values tofrom eeprom with arduino. Arduino create, a cloudbased ide and up2, a single board computer based on intels apollo lake platform, are used for the examples.
It seems that the arduino software doesnt have much support for displaying float variables, certainly the sprintf function doesnt work. Scenario writing negative float to eeprom can be tricky, since eeprom only recognises up to 8bit values see tronixstuff explanation, therefore it requires an additional algorithm to make it. By the way, you must remember that type casting just get rid of anything after the decimal. On the arduino due and samd based boards like mkr and zero, an int stores a 32bit 4byte value. Integers are your primary datatype for number storage. Can somebody explain how i can convert an 5 decimal float like. If you multiply an int by a float, the int will automatically be converted to a float for you for the multiplication operation. Using intel math kernel library with arduino create intel. I found that i needed to convert float to char using a function in the standard arduino library called dtostrf. Although it wraps nicely chars in arduino, it misses one really important aspect, it cant handle float. Processing supports the double datatype from java as well.
All readings are display well but when i tend to write 0. When float switch is up, serial monitor will print 1 and when float is down it will print 0. However there is a useful c function called dtostrf which will convert a float to a char array so it can then be printed easily. How to convert float to integer type value in python.
