This is based on the origional rprintf by Pascal Stang. However numDigits now refers to digits after decimal point, and the is no '+' character printed for +ive numbers.

void rprintfFloat(char numDigits, double x)
{
	unsigned char firstplace = FALSE;
	unsigned char i=255, digit;
	double place = 1000000000000000.0;
 
	if(x<0)
	{
		rprintfChar('-');
		x=-x;							//convert to absolute value
	}
	for(;i;i--)
	{
		digit=x/place;
		if(digit | firstplace)			//digit>=1
		{
			firstplace = TRUE;			//we have reached the first 
			rprintfChar(digit+0x30);
			if(place == 1.0)
			{
				rprintfChar('.');		//the decimal point
				i=numDigits;
			}
		}
		x-=digit*place;
		place/=10.0;
	}
}
