Floating data

Hi all,
Can I send floating data to output channel of the PIC microcontroller? If it is then how.
Thanks in advance.

Your question would be easier to answer if you explained what your output is connected to and what you wanted to see there. Do you want to output a voltage, a serial stream of data, a PWM duty cycle?

Hi jecottrell,
Thanks for your reply. You exactly got my point. The output would be serial stream data or PWM duty cycle. Could you please explain the situation for cases?
Thanks a lot gain.

Take some time and explain what you want to achieve. Then someone will be able to explain how to do it. So far, you haven't offered any details on what you would like to achieve. Until then, I don't think you'll find anyone willing to play 20 Questions.

For a serial stream look at the printf() function.
For PWM look at the set_pwm, set_power, and setup_power functions.
