Post by thread:[PIC]: Microchip 32 bit float format conversion

Hi all, I searching for converting a 32 bit float (Microchip format) in ASCII or INTEGER for displaying the float on an LCD with the decimal format (1,22 e -12 for example). I working with CCS PIC C Compiler. My problem is I don't understand how the mantisse is encoded (I know the microchip format, don't send it to me). If someone can explain me how the float is encoded or where can i find a function in C langage, it will be great ! Thanks in advance Stephane -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways. See http://www.piclist.com/#archives for details.

Andy Warren has an explanation of the floating point format on his "answers" page: http://home.netcom.com/~fastfwd/answers.html#PIC00063 >> I searching for converting a 32 bit float (Microchip format) in ASCII or INTEGER for displaying the float on an LCD with the decimal format (1,22 e -12 for example).
