Since the module crystalball is still in development, you'll have to analyze your three byte float format and convert it either to a IEEE 754 "single" float and use struct, or convert manually using bitwise operators. BTW, who in his mind designs three byte floats? Memory isn't that expensive anymore. Even C bool is four bytes long.
