Jul 22, 2015 · Floats and in sprintf () don't work on the Arduino. You could use dtostrf () instead. http://www.hobbytronics.co.uk/arduino-float-vars. Regards. Ray. As Hackscribble pointed out, something like (I don't have an LCD display handy): float volts = 99.9; int cdtSec = 999; char LCDmsg[21]; Serial.begin(9600); dtostrf(volts, 4, 1, LCDmsg);

Aug 17, 2014 · I need to convert a float value to cha*, so I can use sprintf to print out the result using a LCD panel. found some examples, but they all use sprintf to convert float to char*; I believe float is not supported in arduino when using sprintf, or …

Mar 12, 2019 · Hello Folks, I'd like your advice on the most efficient way to format a float into a char array. The end goal is to display the float value on an LCD display, see below a pic of my problem. Basically I have a float variable in which is a temperature value.

Aug 1, 2016 · There is a function in the standard Arduino library called dtostrf(). I think of it as "Decimal to String Float". You pass in the float, how wide you want the whole number to be (if it will fit), the number of decimals of precision - and the buffer you want it to fill. Note that!

Nov 21, 2016 · How do I get the variable, volts, to display floating point numbers on a LCD? The LCD only displays floating point values with a lot of decimal places with E at the end. I only need 2 decimal places, so how do I display it? adcinit(); lcd_init();//initializes LCD. lcd_clear();//clear screen. lcd_home(); uint16_t value; float volts; while(1){

Mar 4, 2025 · Displaying float values on a 16x2 LCD with Arduino involves understanding both hardware connections and software techniques. By using libraries like LiquidCrystal and functions like `dtostrf()`, you can effectively display numerical data in your projects.

Find out how to wire an LCD to an Arduino, and how to use the LiquidCrystal library through a set of useful examples. This article was revised on 2021/11/18 by Karl Söderby. The LiquidCrystal library allows you to control LCD displays that are compatible with the Hitachi HD44780 driver.

Mar 9, 2019 · This tutorial includes everything you need to know about controlling a character LCD with Arduino. I have included a wiring diagram and many example codes. These displays are great for displaying sensor data or text and they are also fairly cheap. The first part of this article covers the basics of displaying text and numbers.

Mar 19, 2016 · I have the following code for an Arduino sketch: lcd.write(ch) ; return (0) ; lcd.begin(16, 2); fdev_setup_stream (&lcdout, lcd_putchar, NULL, _FDEV_SETUP_WRITE); stdout = &lcdout; printf("%.2f Volts", 2.0); The problem comes at the last line of the code. This should print out "2.00 Volts" but instead, it prints "?
