| How to store float value in EEPROM |

Hi,
I'm in a problem don't understand how to do it!
1. I have a variable type float where I cannot use '%' sign as an operator.
2. using write_eeprom(adress,value) value is int type so I guess cannot pass float.
how do i do it?
My code is something like this:
| Code: |
printf(lcd_putc," \fEnter\nCalibration value.");
delay_ms(1000);
cali = read_button(); // cali = float
delay_ms(1000);
printf(lcd_putc," \f Present\n Value");
delay_ms(1000);
f=read_button(); // f= float
delay_ms(1000);
cali=cali/f;
printf(lcd_putc,"\f Cal.\nSaved");
delay_ms(1000);
break;
|
And for storing the value i'm using something like:
| Code: |
temEE=cali/256;
write_eeprom(10,temEE);
temEE=cali%256; // Error cannot use % for float
write_eeprom(11,temEE);
|
Please help, I thought of using an int pointer and doing it, but thats way too lengthy way to do it, if any one has a better way please help!
thanks,
Sid |

| Code: |
BYTE i, offset, *ptr;
offset = 10; // or whatever the offset is meant to be
ptr = (BYTE*)&cali;
for (i=0, i < sizeof(cali),i++)
write_eeprom(offset++,*ptr++);

Look at the make8() and make32() functions. You store data to EEPROM as bytes. Break larger structures (like floats) into to bytes and put the bytes into EEPROM.

CCS has a driver file with routines to store floats and ints in eeprom:
| Quote: |
c:\program files\picc\drivers\internal_eeprom.c
|
Just #include it in your program and call the appropriate routines.
There is also another file with routines for external eeprom. |
