I2C Sensor Arduino outputs 0s? -

i have d6t omron temperature sensor (1x8 array) , trying temperature readings it. however, after debugging , making sure there's no error, can't outputted 0's. here's code, modified example contained in softi2cmaster library github, more information here http://playground.arduino.cc/main/softwarei2clibrary

please appreciated :(

i have couple of recommendations.

first, data returned temperature device not sent floating point value - 16-bit signed integer. example, if device senses 25.8 degrees, value 258 (0x0102) device during i2c communications. also, quick scan of code shows in readoneval() routine, typecast return float, function defined return int. typecast doesn't anyway data isn't in format expect. have convert yourself.

you need take time understand temperature sensor , how i2c works. recommend read app note mouser has here. specific device , has examples in c language straightforward. should on right track.
