LCD arduino printing issue

[gayathrim]

hi,
i have a counter printing values from 0 to 360, with a 0.1 increment in each loop count. however, after a specific value(232), instead of 232.10, the lcd prints 232.11 232.21 232.31 etc.. i tried printing a "0" at the particular position, but doesn't seem to work. can anyone explain why? thanks in advance.

You would have to show us your software to be sure but it could be a rounding error due to the math routines or the binary representation of decimal numbers.

Hi,

I'd use a 16 bit (integer) counter from 0 to 3599.
Each LSB representing 0.1.
Then just set the decimal point at the correct place.
