CONV_S32_FLOAT(9)

✨ NAME ✨

conv_s32_float — bestie, it converts a value from s32 to float 💖

It's a HAL component, so it's living its little realtime life in your LinuxCNC setup.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

loadrt conv_s32_float [count=N|names=name1[,name2...]]

So you just loadrt it, and you can either ask for however many copies you want with count=N, or hand-name each one with names=name1[,name2...]. Pick your fighter, not both at once 🎀

---

🦋 FUNCTIONS 🦋

• conv-s32-float.N — this one requires a floating-point thread, so like, don't try to sneak it into a non-float thread, it will simply not vibe. What does it do? It updates out based on in. That's the whole job. It ate and left no crumbs 💅

---

💜 PINS 💜

• conv-s32-float.N.in — type s32, and it's an input. This is the value going in 🥰
• conv-s32-float.N.out — type float, and it's an output. This is the value coming out the other side, all float-ified ✨

Ngl the N in conv-s32-float.N is the instance number, so if you loaded more than one, each one gets its own numbered set of pins. Iconic behaviour honestly.
