that overflow typically doesn't happen in the HAL layer, there you want to deal with scaled quantities like a length or an angle. if you look at the definition of the floating point format, you will see that it can store integers from -2^53 to 2^53 exactly (+-9e15 roughly or 9000km in nm-resolution). -- Robert Schöftner <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
