The macro call will be the value. So
In a decision you just enter 'Macro_1()' for the 'if:'.
If your macro requires arguments (say 2) you enter 'Macro_1(1,"second")' or 'Macro_1(.var1, .var2)' if you want to pass the values of local var1 and var2.

Please describe what your results are and what you expect to see.

To modify strings you can use the string manipulations available. One of them being concatenation.

The result would be something like: Where smallString would be the one you previously created from the number stored in eeprom.

The obvious question would be why are you comparing strings and not numbers?

If you need to compare strings you could compare the number to see if it is < 10, add three zeros in front if the string, check < 100, add two zeros and compare < 1000 and add one zero.

The eeprom will not handle power cuts while being written to. That is why I wouldn’t use it.

Use something like a diode in the power feed to the controller and add the capacitor between the diode and the controller. That way only the controller draws power from the capacitor.

It would be better to find a way to keep the controller powered while starting. You could use a super cap to try and bridge the low power period. The controller has no ‘deeper memory’ to store variables, external memory could be used but that would require battery backup or something like it and you...

Are you trying to compare strings? Compare$ is for strings, not other data types.

The question what the coverage of a gateway will be is often asked but depends on too many variables to be predictable. From experience, if a gateway is deployed in a city within a building the range will be limited to a few kilometers at most. If the building is one of new types with all kinds of R...

Keep in mind LoRa and LoRaWAN are different things. LoRaWAN adds a lot of features and standards on top of LoRa.

Thanks for the suggestion, I am not looking for hardware. I designed (and build) my own 4 years ago.

I found this one: https://www.benl.ebay.be/itm/LoRaGo-MOTE-RN2483-LoRaWAN-Node-in-Arduino-Nano-Form-Factor/123999985035?hash=item1cdef99d8b:g:m-wAAOSwSq1d6LNn Looks promising? There is a schematic in a link. I'm going to check this out or is there a reason why it doesn't meet the requirements? Woul...

Currently there are issues with the software stack of that gateway. The Dragino LPS8 would be a better choice and also allows connecting a better antenna. (It does not include a USB power supply, that needs to be added) If you enjoy building your own gateway based on an Raspberry Pi you should proba...

Yes, first time in 2016.

I used an 8 bit pic (I have to check which one) with RN2483 LoRaWAN module from microchip. Created a Flowcode component for the RN2483.

MX_FLOAT expands to a double on platforms that support double precision floating point.

Change your union to:
Assign the value to AsFloat and get the bytes from the 4 AsByte vast like your earlier example.

You could try to use float for the union member in stead of the MX_FLOAT. That should result in a 4 byte float.

Perhaps you could attempt to create something yourself in stead of asking for every component you need to be created for you? Several users have used Flowcode to create components and shared them with community which is greatly appreciated. By the way, there is already a rotary encoder component , h...

You added 4 bytes and read 8 into byte sized variables but your samples still show just 4 bytes worth of bits. Shouldn’t you look at 8 bytes and print the value of all 8?

There is no need to post the same request multiple times.

Can you post (attach as file) a flowchart that shows the problem?

Please do not post questions as topic starters in "Programming Tips & Tricks".

Could you provide some context? May-be even a flowchart demonstrating the issue?

DCW wrote:can you not rewrite the routines of FLOWCODE... so that they work correctly....????

Could you provide answers to the questions Ben asked? That would help finding issues.

A bit late for Christmas wishes, so

I’m wishing everyone an
Excellent 2020

Why are you asking this question on a Flowcode forum while referring to and attaching Arduino code? Is there not a more appropriate forum available?
