I have a case where I'm sending IEEE 754 32-bit floats to my Cocoa program over a wireless serial link, they are being sent MSB first. I'm using AMSerialPort to handle my data, and after a little parsing, I'm left with a 4 byte NSData, which has the 32-bit float split into 4 bytes.

I know I have to play around to make sure the bytes are in the right order. But what I can't seem to figure out, is how I create a float from those 4 bytes stored in an instance of NSData. Has anybody run into this situation?_______________________________________________


Have a look at NSSwapBigFloatToHost and friends
