Adding scientific notation to chprintf.  Topic is solved

Postby partyzan » Wed Aug 23, 2017 12:59 pm

Hi, Giovanni!

Why there is no scientific notation in ChibiOS?
Have to print out something like 1.23e-16 sometimes. It is very inconvenient to use float-notation only.
So I did changes in chprintf.c to have %e format, but didn't find any information how to make pull request to chibios repo. There is contrib repo only available for pull-requsting.

Modified chprintf.c file in attachment

Hi,

Posting in this forum is OK for this. About chprintf(), it is mean as a small system utility not meant to replace a full printf(), you should not expect completeness nor conformance from it.
