MD_Parola y MD_MAX72xx

MD_Parola and MD_MAX72xx

I have a problem, I'm using the md_parola and md_max72xx libraries
#include <MD_Parola.h>
#include <MD_MAX72xx.h>
but when I want to send a decimal number to my matrix, it does not work for me,

P.print (my_number, DEC);

then two questions

1 .- Does anyone know how the command should go to show me decimals?

2.- How do I convert a decimal number, for example 10.5 to text "10.5", because the texts if I get it right?

Thanks for your support

MD_Parola y MD_MAX72xx

Tengo un problema, estoy usando las librerias md_parola y md_max72xx
#include <MD_Parola.h>
#include <MD_MAX72xx.h>
pero cuando quiero mandar a mi matriz un numero decimal no me funciona,

P.print(mi_numero, DEC);

entonces dos preguntas

1 .- alguien sabe como debe ir el comando para que me muestre decimales?

2.- como convierto un numero decimal, por ejemplo 10.5 a texto "10.5", porque los textos si me salen bien

Gracias por su apoyo

// Program to demonstrate the MD_Parola library

// Uses the Arduino Print Class extension with various output types

// MD_MAX72XX library can be found at GitHub - MajicDesigns/MD_MAX72XX: LED Matrix Library

#include <MD_Parola.h>
#include <MD_MAX72xx.h>
#include <SPI.h>

const uint16_t WAIT_TIME = 1000;

// Define the number of devices we have in the chain and the hardware interface
// NOTE: These pin numbers will probably not work with your hardware and may
// need to be adapted
#define HARDWARE_TYPE MD_MAX72XX::PAROLA_HW
#define MAX_DEVICES 4
#define CLK_PIN 31
#define DATA_PIN 27
#define CS_PIN 29
float cuenta=0;

// Hardware SPI connection
//MD_Parola P = MD_Parola(HARDWARE_TYPE, CS_PIN, MAX_DEVICES);
// Arbitrary output pins
MD_Parola P = MD_Parola(3, DATA_PIN, CLK_PIN, CS_PIN, MAX_DEVICES);
// 3 is the number that works my hardware, change for test yours

void setup(void)
{
P.begin();
}

void loop(void)
{
P.print("3999.9");
delay(WAIT_TIME);

cuenta = cuenta + 1;
//P.print(cuenta, DEC);
P.print(word(cuenta));
delay(WAIT_TIME);

}

  1. print() should support floating point numbers. 3999.9 may not fit on 3 matrices (why did you not just change the MAX_DEVICES constant?). Have you tried with a smaller number like 9.9? Also, DEC is not for numbers with decimal points but for number in decimal (base-10) notation. HEX would be used for number in hexadecimal (base-16) notation.

  2. You should not need to do anything different.
