Float to String, not working! SOLVED!

[jgu1]

Hi all!

Happy New year!

I started a project with an Ili9341 display and a BME280 sensor.
There are no decimals after the comma in the display when reading the different value out, Float and then made Float to string, when I simulate, not tested in real world. It only shows the integers.

Am I doing something wrong or is there a bug. I have a similar project in FC8 and it works, also in in simulation, ok with a LCD display.
The attached is a clip from the program, to make it easier to see what is happening. When I am finish I will share the hole project

Hope someone can help

Hi Jorgen,
Thank you & happy new year to you as well.
Your issue is you have used the

Code: Select all

ToString$

function which is Integer to String.
As it is typecasting to an integer, no decimal points will be expected, so it's left out.
What you need to use instead is use

Code: Select all

 FloatToString$

If you want to round the string to 2 decimal places for example , you can use

Code: Select all

HumStr = FloatToString$ (Hum, 2)

Hi MArtin!

Of course Martin, how can I have overlooked it. Also what I have used the Float to String in previus project in FC8 Now it works as it should.

And, ok this is new to me: (Hum, 2) I always edit this When I create new String vaiable, but this is easyer. Learn some new today.

Glad we have supporters like you. Many thanks for the help.

Br Jorgen.
