[SOLVED] V_VOLTAGE

[skywatch]

When I try to send V_VOLTAGE as a 'long' it works. But, I would prefer to send a float and every time I try this it fails with a compilier warning.

Is there a list of data types that can be sent as V_VOLTAGE?

I am using S_MULTIMETER if that helps at all......

@skywatch Perhaps your sketch would have helped see what is going wrong, but here is an abstract from mine, hope this helps:

voltread = analogRead(BatteryIn);
   float voltage = (7.272 * voltread) / 1024;
   sleep(5);
   send(msg3.set(voltage,2));

It is declared as V_VOLTAGE and S_MULTIMETER as yours, but the float is sent to 2 decimal places, as in voltage,2

@zboblamont Thank you! - I didn't know if it was possible to send as a float or not.
Now it is working as expected -
