Output is:

1.00

I also tried

Serial.println (strtod(sci,(char**)NULL));

but same result.

I forgot to mention, both tests also had #include <stdlib.h>

@pidloop is this issue still valid with latest git? still valid with #3215 ?

Arduino Board Manager says I am running ESP8266 Community version 2.3.0 and yes, this error report is still valid.

This works in git head, closing.
