    Let's say that you have 4.8 V on the input. You'll get an A/D reading of 249.

    249 * 2 / 100 = 4   This part is ok
    249 * 4 = 996, and //10 gives 6
    So that would display as 4.6 instead of 4.8

    Or if you had 4.2 V, (214 A/D)

    214 * 2 / 10 = 4   Still OK
    214 * 4 = 856, and //10 gives 6
    Still displays as 4.6 instead of 4.2

    Here are some more results
    Code:
    Volts	A/D	Whole#	4*A/D	//10	Result
    5.00	255	5	1020	0	5.0
    4.90	249	4	996	6	4.6
    4.85	247	4	988	8	4.8
    4.80	244	4	976	6	4.6
    4.75	242	4	968	8	4.8
    4.70	239	4	956	6	4.6
    4.65	237	4	948	8	4.8
    4.60	234	4	936	6	4.6
    4.55	232	4	928	8	4.8
    4.50	229	4	916	6	4.6
    4.40	224	4	896	6	4.6
    4.30	219	4	876	6	4.6
    4.20	214	4	856	6	4.6
    I think you should take another look at the formulas in post #9
    You are right , but I don't understand how to write the code for the remainder to show right the decimal
