[Solved] Problem with float from 8-bit Arduino to Due

Hi, I´m trying to receive 3 float from an 8-bit Arduino Mini, which I know that it manage 4 bytes float, in a 12 byte array.
But I´m having troubles to convert it to Due´s float because I do not understand at all, how many bytes have a float in the Due,
(I think the float in Due it´s like an double, 8 bytes). I hope someone could confirm me that the Due´s float are 8 byte in memory and
tell me how to convert a 4 bytes float to a 8 bytes float, I´m trying to do it with "union" with no results.

Thanks and regards.

Update: I found "Sizeof" function in the reference, I will test it on the Due and I will post the results.

Finally it works XD

sizeof() told me that float are 4 bytes long and double are 8 bytes long on Due, I didn't understood well in the reference :cold_sweat:
