    I think the question is about where to post a question about embedded systems... :sigh:

        Hi All, Do we have an Embedded page or shall I ask in C/C++ forum..? Glenn.

        If it is more about the hardware part - you should go here: https://www.codeproject.com/Forums/186301/Hardware-Devices Otherwise go with the programming language you use...

            Well in all fairness I need to ask a question on C programming to make sure I am not missing something. I was in the middle of writing a document (not related) and thought :bob: might know. So in all fairness I deserved the trolling.

              Well, pardon me for trying. The title of the question led me to believe that Glenn is looking to embed a pictire of Bob somewhere.

                            I fixed it, wrote the question though about it and solved it about two seconds after I posted it, tried it, Working all is good!

                              I do IoT stuff, which is related and similar, and am diving into more embedded here. For my part, I just ask C questions in the C section, whether it's embedded or not. What's harder is asking about the things where the hardware and firmware meet, but typically I'll just consider that a programming question, tag it as best I can, and then make sure I'm clear about what I'm doing in the description. There are enough embedded devs here I think you'll be able to cast a net and get something that way.

                              To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.

                                    Not to worry I solved the original problem and as is the case meant something else broke, bodged that. Now being left over night to see what breaks next... The LCD driver is a pain yes, you can send it an integer or float but will display a decimal point? Some times yes some times no, and will it return I2C address? (so I can hook up a real time clock that use I2C) No is the answer. Shall I try to get the data sheet, oh company went bust and some genius bought a load of LCD's on Ebay... :rolleyes: Circuit diagrams, who needs those! Glenn (I need :beer:)

                                      You're probably using a crappy graphics driver. I have one that may work better for you depending on the type of MCU you're using, but your best bet is to actually use sprintf(tmp,"formatspecifier",value); and then display tmp so you have total control over the formatting of it.

                                      To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.

                                        I would have to load stdio for sprintf()... no room. Think it's the I2C having a bit of noise. Will play more tomorrow. Thanks Glenn

                                          I meant the library you're using to communicate to your I2C or SPI display. Clearly, I don't know enough about your platform. It might be simpler to just roll your own ftoa type function

                                          To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.
