So, I have an ATTiny85 sending data, awesome. I would like to have it send a message that consists of a few concatenated parts.
I have been reading about strings, buffers, chars, toCharArray and more for about 6 hours now and am completely puzzled by this.
Below, the variable deze will no transmit, but msg will.
So I tried to do something like char *deze = "hello" + "world"; but that also fails.
What would be the best way to construct a piece of data that will be send by my 433MHz transmitter. I need to combine INT, String and float before sending it as uint8_t (bytes?).
#include <RH_ASK.h>
#define R_PIN PB4
#define T_PIN PB1
#define L_PIN PB3
RH_ASK driver(2000, R_PIN, T_PIN);
void setup()
{
if (!driver.init()){
pinMode(L_PIN, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(L_PIN, HIGH);
delay(500);
digitalWrite(L_PIN, LOW);
delay(500);
}
}
void loop()
{
char deze[5];
char *msg = "gewonechar";
String thijs = "thijs";
thijs.toCharArray(deze, sizeof(deze)-1);
driver.send((uint8_t *)deze, strlen(msg));
driver.waitPacketSent();
delay(200);
}
[edit]
This is the receiving end, it receives partially correct data, a b it of a mess actually.
struct dataStruct{
int id;
float analog1;
float analog2;
}myData;
void loop()
{
uint8_t buflen = sizeof(buf);
if (driver.recv(buf, &buflen)) {
memcpy(&myData, buf, buflen);
int i;
// inbellen("http://api.thingspeak.com/update?api_key=PSD722OLDGYHJHM2&field1=" + String((char*)buf));
Serial.print("Message: ");
Serial.println(myData.analog1);
Serial.println(myData.analog2);
Serial.println(myData.id);
}
server.handleClient();
yield();
}
