Have you run into situation under the MPLAB IDE where you are trying to output variables, but even though you have the format correct, a float variable outputs with a .0 value?
Example
(from somewhere else in code)
AIRTEMP=751
====
float adjustedtemp= 0.0;
adjustedtemp= (AIRTEMP + 5)/10;
printf("Air Temp: %5.2f \r\n", adjustedtemp);
the result looks like this
Air Temp: 75.00
when it SHOULD look like this
Air Temp: 75.60
this is due to a bug in the way MPLAB handles floats.
Two easy ways to fix it:
#1:
adjustedtemp= (AIRTEMP + 5.0)/10.0;
or,
#2
adjustedtemp= ((float)AIRTEMP + 5)/10;
Either of these methods will result in the correct value being displayed during your sprintf() or printf() command.
