Post Modulo Assignment
I've whittled down my error to this:
Code:
task main() {
   float current_encoder = 0;
   current_encoder %= 360;
}

The compiler tells me "**Severe*:Illegal compiler use of 'float constant' in second parm". It still compiles and downloads, however. :?

Ok. If you cast the result before you assign the value, it will work.
Code:
task main() {
   float current_encoder = 0;
   current_encoder = (float)(current_encoder%360);
}

Well, taking the modulo of a floating point number is kind of pointless (no pun intended), it's only for bytes, ints and longs.

It works, just happens to truncate the decimal as well. I was using a float because I was doing other things with the variable, and didn't want to cast it. So, I guess I was being lazy again :P

This makes more sense:
Code:
task main() {
   float current_encoder = 0;
   current_encoder = round(current_encoder)%360;
}

Alternatively:
Code:
task main() {
   float current_encoder = 0;
   current_encoder = (int)current_encoder%360;
}
