Yes, pointer cluelessness is no Code Red invention :eek:

That's not uC or RedLib specific, it plain C language - the difference between an aggregated data type, and a reference to it.

That's worst case (=base 2) string length :rolleyes:

For bases >=10 string length can be reduced to 12 :)

  = optional -sign (1)  +  32bit decimal value digits (10) + null-termination (1)

You are trying to store the ASCII string of an integer in 1 pointer to char :eek:

Nice compression trick, but unfortunately not working :rolleyes:

So use an array of >32 chars as mentioned in:

http://support.code-red-tech.com/CodeRedWiki/redlib_itoa

Sample:

float temperature = 1234.56;    //melting iron
[COLOR=Red]char temperature_string[33];[/COLOR]    //recommended string length

int main(void)
{
 volatile static int i = 0 ;
 while(1)
 {
  i++ ;
  itoa((int)(temperature*100),&temperature_string[0],10);//convert with decimals
 }
 return 0 ;
}
