As someone coming into this programming space, is it common to be running a debugger that can read the float, as opposed to someone brand new to the space printing out a value for debugging. Not specifically comments like yours, but in general the assumption that others should know their tools as strongly as those profess in limited environment spaces, makes it seem that this is a space only for those with a high level of knowledge. That is absolutely not a knock on your knowledge or ability if that is just how things are, I'm sure there are specific areas of computing that require a vast knowledge of how things work without having a library to debug your issues into the way a simple print statement works. I have worked in limited environments, so I am curious specifically about a microcontroller environment like londons_explore specified.

I learned to program in Atari 8-bit systems, and know there are limitations on what you can output. londons_explore had a completely valid comment. I was just looking for a perspective for developers getting involved in microcontroller environments, and how they could best debug their code. We all know that a debugger is better than a "print" statement, but not always the fastest, especially with logic. If my answer is just "debugging", and there isn't another, that satisfies me. I am always looking for unique ways developers solve problems in ANY environment, because I would enjoy being able to work in any environment that's best for the solution being provided. I guess I have been blessed with environments where the client is willing to pay for something higher-level than what is actually required.

I enjoy all aspects of development across devices, so I hope nobody took my comment as a challenge, it absolutely was not.
