How to convert a float in two int8

[pilar]

Hi, I have a result of reading a sensor expressed in float with 2 decimal (TEM), I want to convert this number float in two int8 to TX to a PC (buffer_tx[0] and buffer_tx[1]), how I can do it?

Look at the floor() function in the CCS manual. It shows an example
of how to get the fractional part of the floating point number.
Then with some math and the atoi() function, you can convert each part
into an 8-bit integer value.

Maybe you are looking for the make8() function? It is well documented in the manual once you know what it is called. A float is not going to fit in 2 bytes without some work.

pilar wants to take a floating point number in this format xx.yy, and
convert the xx and the yy into 8-bit integers, and transmit them as two
bytes. I didn't write a routine, I just pointed out the floor() function,
because I think pilar should try to do it first.

Hi PCM programmer, thank you, I did not know this function.
