DS18B20 sensor read dec. point

[Grant Fleming]

Hi all,
I can get the sensor to display whole numbers on screen with the "readtemp" command and "debug" but would like to know how to get it to read to at least one decimal point. In the example in programme editor there is no mention of this. I don't seem to get any indication from the datasheet-(unless I have missed something). Have also used search in this forum but just found everything else about everything else! If anyone could please point me in the right direction I will try to write the code myself.
Cheers,
Grant

It works very well.

Added edit.
Use a three word "All" search, using

Thanks for all the prompt replies!
Eclectic, John, I used Peter Andersons 18X code as I am only using one sensor and modified it for the 08M- it does work well!
Hippy, read the topic you suggested, all good just don't need four decimal places for my application but will keep your code in mind if I do at a later stage.
Cheers,
Grant
