You don't want to cast a float as an integer. That would give you the bit pattern of a float interpreted as an integer, and it would pretty much be nonsense until cast back as a float. What you really want to do is add the float to the cluster as a float, then everything can be flattened as a TCP string buffer. Back on the PC, you can unflatten and you will receive the exact same values. Then you can display them however you like -- sliders, meters, numerics, graphs, etc.
