Here is a snippet of code that demonstrates using the dtostrf function of the avrgcc stdlib to convert a float value to a string array of chars. If this is not the case, you can do a little trick. Floating point numbers are not exact, and may yield strange results when compared. Using dtostrf function a better solution is to use the dtostrf function. Then it appears that software other than yours is confused because with the int cast in place, there should be no way to interpret the first parameter as a float. Integers are your primary datatype for number storage. I dont know for sure how that behaves for ints for which there is no such. The highest bit, sometimes referred to as the sign. If the string contains nondigit characters, the function will stop performing the conversion. Modules include a mcu, connectivity and onboard memory, making them ideal for designing iot products for mass production. Do you want to convert an floating point value to a string.
Float to string conversion in arduino all about circuits. My plan was to do integer division to get the thousands digit, concat a decimal, and modulus division for the remainder, instead of trying to use an actual float. This obviously doesnt work, because the number becomes 5,100,000. If you use only the int, you will get integer value without a round figure. By the way, you must remember that type casting just get rid of anything after the decimal.
