Hi, I need some hints on where to start solving this problem.
I have to interpret a one-byte floating point number

I'm curious, what does a one byte floating point number look like?
I've never come across such a beast, the smallest FP representation I've come across is 16 bits or two bytes. But that wasn't in
Python...

a value such as 0.8367 from a fader control, and my Python is
interpreting it as either a 0 or 1.

It would help if we could see your python, otherwise we
have to guess...

for numbers from 0 to 255 within my one byte
...and the value will be sent from gui to amp and back as

What does 'packed' mean in this context?
Are you using the struct module or something else or are you meaning that you will somehow apply a compression technique? If so, what?

A bit confused...
