I am trying to read data from my IMU6050 and displaying it using USART.
I can successfully read integer values, but since i need to convert the data to float to display actual sensor reading, i keep receiving random characters.
BTW i am using sprintf funtion to convert float into array.
u can find my code below.
#include "stm32f4xx.h"
#include "stm32f4xx_usart.h"
#include "stm32f4xx_rcc.h"
#include "stm32f4xx_gpio.h"
#include "stm32f4xx_i2c.h"
#include "misc.h"
#include "stdlib.h"
#include "math.h"
