Floating point

Hi, I can't stand why my stm32f4 does not do the floating point calculation.

Frequency = (RCC_Clocks.HCLK_Frequency)/2 / (IC2Value * (TIM4->PSC+1));Frequency is a float variable, but when i read it with ''printf'' there's an integer inside.

Hi

Basic (stupid) question : Are you telling printf to print a float number? printf( tmpString, ''%f'', floatVar )

Posted on June 09, 2014 at 14:07 I could guess all variables in the expression are integers, so the calculation is done in int and then assigned (cast) to float. It is necessary to cast the intermediate result to float before the first division.

The printf is right. The problem was the IC2Value, now i've declared it ''float''. Thank you!

Hi,

Try this method for your old code,i.e declare IC2Value as you declared before. I think it will workFrequency =(float)((RCC_Clocks.HCLK_Frequency)/2 / (IC2Value * (TIM4->PSC+1)));
