Hi All,
I'm using DS12B20, with the example I've the temperatura displayed like this :

12.23

20.37

etc etc

I would like to round the temperature for example see:

12.20

20.40

Is possible ? Thanks for the information,

Gnux

Which LCD library are you using? Does it derive from the Print class?

round the number e.g. by moving to integer domain.

pseudo code

Code:

float temp =12.34
int t = temp * 10 + 0.5;  // t = 123   (.9)  t is temp in tenths
print t/10;  // integer part
print .
print t%10;  //decimal part
print 0;

(if temp < 0 code might differ slightly)

From LiquidCrystal.h:

Code:

class LiquidCrystal : public Print {

So, LCD.print(someFloat, 1);
will show someFloat on the LCD rounded to one decimal place.

Does it round or does it truncate ?

[Reply #11 on:]

from print.cpp

Code:

// Round correctly so that print(1.999, 2) prints as "2.00"
  double rounding = 0.5;
  for (uint8_t i=0; i<digits; ++i)
    rounding /= 10.0;

rounding it does
