I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong, the temperature value I want is displaying, just not anything after the decimal point.

So if the temperature is 16.94, I’m seeing two blanks and 16 over to the right.

The code is:

```
    cpuTemp=int(float(getCPUtemperature()))  
    ambient = rainbowhat.weather.temperature()

    calctemp = ambient - ((cpuTemp - ambient)/ 0.65)

# calctemp = float("{0:.2f}".format(calctemp))

    rainbowhat.display.print_float(calctemp)
    rainbowhat.display.show()

```

I’ve tried formating the temperature but that doesn’t display it either, what am I missing?

That’s a strange one! I’ll try running that code tomorrow, and get to the bottom of it.
