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 working code on the receiver side.

struct data {
  uint16_t id;
  uint16_t pin;
  uint16_t value1;
  uint16_t value2;
} myData;
    
void loop()
{
    uint8_t buf[RH_ASK_MAX_MESSAGE_LEN];
    uint8_t buflen = sizeof(buf);

    if (driver.recv(buf, &buflen)) {
     
      memcpy(&myData, buf, buflen);
      
      Serial.print("ID: "); 
      Serial.println(myData.id);

      Serial.print("Pin: "); 
      Serial.println(myData.pin);

      Serial.print("Value1: "); 
      Serial.println(myData.value1);

      Serial.print("Value2: "); 
      Serial.println(myData.value2);
      
      Serial.println("");
    }
    server.handleClient();
    yield;
}

And the transmitter

#include <RH_ASK.h>

#define BAUD 2000
#define RX 11
#define TX 12

RH_ASK driver(BAUD, RX, TX);

struct data {
  uint16_t id;
  uint16_t pin;
  uint16_t value1;
  uint16_t value2;
} myData;

void setup() {
    Serial.begin(9600);   // Debugging only
    if (!driver.init())
         Serial.println("init failed");
}

void loop()
{
    struct data myData;

    myData.id = 1001;
    myData.pin = 4;
    myData.value1 = analogRead(4);
    myData.value2 = analogRead(5);
    
    driver.send((uint8_t *)&myData, sizeof(myData));
    driver.waitPacketSent();
    delay(2000);
}
