Hi
I need to know if the inputs coming from FG, while using a generic
protocol having binary mode set to true, are coming in as integers that need
to be converted to floating point or is FG actually sending in a floating
point word, a byte at a time? So my code to receive FG data looks something
like this....
for ( int i = 0; i <= 3; i++ ) { dummy_var = (dummy_var << 8) |
rs232_uart1; }
return ( (float) dummy_var);
What I am wondering is, is the " return ( (float) dummy_var); " cast to a
float necessary, or is the number already in floating point format, if so
then I need to instruct my hardware to retrieve a full word at a time. I've
included the xml file just in case you guys have any questions about what
data I am asking FG to transmit.
