The Nokia 6100 LCD Shield for Arduino only has the LCDPutStr command. How do I display floating numbers from my variables?

I guess you need to convert them to string first. – Oliver Charlesworth Nov 18 '11 at 01:10

Haven't done it myself but there's a good thread on the topic (of floats to strings for Arduino) here.
Also, there is the LiquidCrystal library which works well, if it's compatible with the Nokia. You can feed numbers to it's print function.
Remember Arduino's language is simplified C++. So if none of those Arduino solutions work just look for an open source library and nab the function from there.

No, Arduino uses (a subset of) C++ as the base language, not C (although C can be considered a subset of C++). "[Wiring and Processing have spawned another project, Arduino, which uses the Processing IDE together with a simplified version of the C++ programming language](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiring_%28development_platform%29#Arduino_and_Fritzing)". See [Writing a Library for Arduino](http://www.arduino.cc/en/Hacking/LibraryTutorial) for an example using classes." – Peter Mortensen Nov 18 '11 at 18:02

@Peter Mortensen Thanks, I hadn't realized it was c++ It always just looked like a duck and quacked like a duck I never took the time to ask it. I will edit my answer. – NJones Nov 18 '11 at 18:08
