PST/Float32Full problem (beginner)

egenriether

I'm new to the prop and I'm having a problem printing a number to the pst. In the code below, If I don't include the line

number := F.FRound(F.FMul(tDecay,100))

then the pst will show the string that follows and the value "0" for "number", as I would expect. When I include the line with the F.FRound command (or any Float32Full command) the rest of the code doesn't get processed and the pst is blank. Am I somehow upsetting the pst code or misusing the Float32 code? This is not the only instance this has happened to me (a lot of things I do tend to make pst stop working) but I've tried to distill it down to the basic problem without a lot of other stuff to confuse the issue.

CON
_clkmode = xtal1 + pll16x               
_xinfreq = 5_000_000
var
long tDecay
long number           
obj
rc : "RCTIME"
pst: "Parallax Serial Terminal"
F:   "Float32Full"
PUB Go
 pst.Start(115200)
 
repeat
  waitcnt(clkfreq/10 + cnt)
  rc.rctime(18, 1, @tDecay)
  number  := F.FRound(F.FMul(tDecay,100))
  pst.Str(String(pst#CE, pst#HM, "tDecay = "))
  pst.Dec(number)

Thanks

Nevermind, forgot the start command for Float32. Hopefully thats the last time (?)

Hey Brian,

Have you checked out F32? It has more features than Float32 and is faster. I don't know if the latest version is in the OBEX yet but it can be found here.

It's a drop in replacement for Float32.
