    Most online convertors will use the IEEE floating point format. The format that is used in most PC languages.
    But Microchip uses a different format. And 50 in Microchip's format is 0x84480000.

    So if you are receiving IEEE formatted floats, you will not be able to convert them with the Microchip Floating Point routines without first converting to Microchip format.
