[raman00084]

i am using dspic 33ep512mu810. my issue is if i save a floating point number in eeprom it is not saving correctely.
For example if i save float32 val=88.75 then in eeprom it is saving 88.74 .

I guess float32 means it's stored as 32 bit...
But is it at any time placed in a variable which was defined as 8 bits? Signed, unsigned? Then it may only be accurate to a few digits.
