Trouble with pwm outputs

Notice the ampherstand (&). This will tell printf to read the value of pwn02 rather than the memory address of pwn02 (this is why 10000 or so seemed so out of range; memory addresses range all the way up to the maximum RAM).

As for the digits between the % and the 'd', lpramo55 was right in saying the number controls the number of digits output. If you write a 3, it will display 3 digits, adding zeroes as necessary. This also works with decimal places. For example: If you wrote

float f = 34.67;
printf("%2.1f", &f);

The output would be 34.7, rather than 34.670000.
The number between the '%' and the 'f' in this case represents 2 digits, plus a decimal point, plus 1 additional digit.

Hope this helps!

NOTE: Do not use floats with the robot programming because it has no floating point processor. Instead, stick to ints and unsigned chars, using "%i", and "%d" as needed.

If I'm not mistaken, doesn't the rewritten printf function not support the %f format for floating point. If I am right. How would I display a floating point number in the terminal window?

depending on the size, you might just multiply it by 1000 to give you an integer (if the number is -32.767 < x < 32.767) or some other power of 10 (i.e. if you have values -320.767 - 320.767, mult. by 100)
