Float Variables

[[e-mail] [nuttx]]

I was trying to edit an example on accelerometer. I am unable to typecast int16 values of the acceleration to float value. i need to calculate acceleration in m/s^2, for that i need to convert it to float i dont know where am i going wrong in i tried to typecast like

accz = (float)acc_z;
printf("accz = %f\n",accz);
value printing is zero. when i tried ir without typecasting it gave me expected printf results.


Please help.

Most likely an issue with %f. Try %8.2f

Try cast it to double instead of float.

You haven’t provided enough information here. In particular, which CPU are you compiling for, and how? Do you have floating point support for printf enabled? (It’s big and you probably don’t want it). What do you mean by “tried ir without typecasting”? Did you pass your int16 argument (I assume you mean int16_t) to printf with the %f format specifier? That won’t give you an “expected” result. Do you mean that you performed the conversion without an explicit cast, i.e.

int16_t acc_z = something();
float accz = acc_z;

You might also try printing both values using %08x (don’t cast them) to see their binary representations.

Hi Mike,I printed all integer, float and double variables of the same value.. Integer is printing fine, neither is float or double.

Do you have floating point support for printf enabled? (It’s big and you probably don’t want it).

Mike is asking if you have CONFIG_LIBC_FLOATINGPOINT=y in your .config file. By default floating point output is disabled and would account for the issues you are seeing.

Your answer isn’t precise enough to help, sorry.

“I printed” does not describe what you did, and “fine” / “not fine” doesn’t describe the output.

Nothing you’ve said suggests you took my suggestion to use the %x format to examine the binary representation of the float values.

You still haven’t told us which CPU you’re compiling for, and how.

You still haven’t told us whether you have the floating point support for printf enabled.

You also haven’t explained why you think printf is the right way to test your code in the first place (hint: it’s usually not).

I was trying to edit an example on accelerometer. I am unable to typecast int16 values of the acceleration to float value. i need to calculate acceleration in m/s^2, for that i need to convert it to float i dont know where am i going wrong in i tried to typecast like

value printing is zero. when i tried ir without typecasting it gave me expected printf results.
Please help.
