Arduino GPS/GSM receiver (Uno+A7 Elecrow) - string

I'm trying to make a GPS/GSM receiver with an Arduino Uno. My program is trying to ana]yse the incoming strings with a few ifs. Then I want to convert them to save them on an SD card, or send them as SMS.
This is the correct information from the GPS:
+GPSRD:
$GPGGA,151420.000,5222.61362,N,01658.51086,E,1,03,8.9,0.0,M,,M,,0000*44
$GPRMC,151420.000,A,5222.61362,N,01658.51086,E,0.46,160.58,201017,,,A*67
$GPVTG,160.58,T,,M,0.46,N,0.86,K,A*3B
The line I need is the third one, because there are coordinates. I want to save them. So I made some functions. I'm trying also to navigate the whole device by SMS commands. Everything is in the code. Here is the code:
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
#include <SPI.h>
#include <SD.h>
#include <string.h>
#define rxPin 7

String message="lalala", callingnumber="";

}
I'm looking for some help, because it doesn't work well. Here is the screenshot of the executed program:
The response is not good. There was some text conversion to get 13 strings of message.
Please help, if I missed any information I can edit the post.
Thanks.

sending data from max30100 sensor using esp8266 to thingspeak

I have two sensors linked to my Arduino UNO: MAX30100(this is the problem) and LM35 Sensor.
These two sensors work without the ESP8266, their values are shown on the Serial port of arduino.
The problem is when I include the ESP8266 to send the values to ThingSpeak. The values for LM35 sensor are sent and they appear well on ThingSpeak.
The problem is with MAX30100. MAX30100 show just the value 0, that means that MAX30100 is not measuring nothing at all.
Does anybody has any ideea what to do to make the MAX30100 sensor to work while sending data to Thingspeak? I post my code below.

Sending Sensor Data from Nodemcu ESP32 and Firebase

I'm trying to send sensor data from nodemcu ESP32 to firebase.
When using the basic example shown below it worked fine, and also when viewing the sensor data without sending it to firebase.

However when I tried to edit the code a bit and send my sensor's data, I get an error, I would appreciate any help, code, and error attached.

Error:
firebasecode:74:65: error: no matching function for call to 'FirebaseESP32::setFloat(FirebaseData&, StringSumHelper&)'
The setFloat method takes three parameters:
bool setFloat(FirebaseData &dataObj, const String &path, float floatValue);
From https://github.com/mobizt/Firebase-ESP32/blob/master/src/FirebaseESP32.h#L1084
So the path and value are separate parameters. Change the calls to setFloat to look like:
if (Firebase.setFloat(firebaseData, path + "/Air Temp", t))
This is the new code which for some reason does not send the air humidity data, only air temp, the soil temp and moisture works fine.

shell execute with c++

I am working on an application that will trigger a UAC prompt in whatever program is opened by ShellExecute.
I can't figure out how to hard-code a path for the ShellExecute to run. As of now this program uses whatever path is in arg[0]. How can I build a string to put in the place of arg[0] on the line sinfo.lpFile = arg[0];?
I am very new so if you can't see why making a string to put in that line will solve my problem then you are most likely right.

How to read a string value with a delimiter on Arduino?

I have to manage servos from a computer.
So I have to send manage messages from computer to Arduino. I need manage the number of servo and the corner. I'm thinking of sendin something like this : "1;130" (first servo and corner 130, delimeter ";").
Are there any better methods to accomplish this?
Here is my this code :
String foo = "";
void setup(){
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop(){
readSignalFromComp();
}
void readSignalFromComp() {
if (Serial.available() > 0)
foo = '';
while (Serial.available() > 0){
foo += Serial.read();
}
if (!foo.equals(""))
Serial.print(foo);
}
This doesn't work. What's the problem?
You can use Serial.readString() and Serial.readStringUntil() to parse
strings from Serial on arduino
You can also use Serial.parseInt() to read integer values from serial
Code Example
int x;
String str;
void loop()
{
if(Serial.available() > 0)
{
str = Serial.readStringUntil('\n');
x = Serial.parseInt();
}
}
The value to send over serial would be "my string\n5" and the result would be str = "my string" and x = 5
Note: Serial.available() inherits from the Stream utility class.
https://www.arduino.cc/reference/en/language/functions/communication/serial/available/
This is a Great sub I found. This was super helpful and I hope it will be to you as well.
This is the method that calls the sub.
String xval = getValue(myString, ':', 0);
This is The sub!
String getValue(String data, char separator, int index)
{
int found = 0;
int strIndex[] = {
0, -1 };
int maxIndex = data.length()-1;
for(int i=0; i<=maxIndex && found<=index; i++){
if(data.charAt(i)==separator || i==maxIndex){
found++;
strIndex[0] = strIndex[1]+1;
strIndex[1] = (i == maxIndex) ? i+1 : i;
}
}
return found>index ? data.substring(strIndex[0], strIndex[1]) : "";
}
Most of the other answers are either very verbose or very general, so I thought I'd give an example of how it can be done with your specific example using the Arduino libraries:
You can use the method Serial.readStringUntil to read until your delimiter from the Serial port.
And then use toInt to convert the string to an integer.
So for a full example:
void loop()
{
if (Serial.available() > 0)
{
// First read the string until the ';' in your example
// "1;130" this would read the "1" as a String
String servo_str = Serial.readStringUntil(';');
// But since we want it as an integer we parse it.
int servo = servo_str.toInt();
// We now have "130\n" left in the Serial buffer, so we read that.
// The end of line character '\n' or '\r\n' is sent over the serial
// terminal to signify the end of line, so we can read the
// remaining buffer until we find that.
String corner_str = Serial.readStringUntil('\n');
// And again parse that as an int.
int corner = corner_str.toInt();
// Do something awesome!
}
}
Of course we can simplify this a bit:
void loop()
{
if (Serial.available() > 0)
{
int servo = Serial.readStringUntil(';').toInt();
int corner = Serial.readStringUntil('\n').toInt();
// Do something awesome!
}
}
You need to build a read buffer, and calculate where your 2 fields (servo #, and corner) start and end. Then you can read them in, and convert the characters into Integers to use in the rest of your code. Something like this should work (not tested on Arduino, but standard C):
void loop()
{
int pos = 0; // position in read buffer
int servoNumber = 0; // your first field of message
int corner = 0; // second field of message
int cornerStartPos = 0; // starting offset of corner in string
char buffer[32];
// send data only when you receive data:
while (Serial.available() > 0)
{
// read the incoming byte:
char inByte = Serial.read();
// add to our read buffer
buffer[pos++] = inByte;
// check for delimiter
if (itoa(inByte) == ';')
{
cornerStartPos = pos;
buffer[pos-1] = 0;
servoNumber = atoi(buffer);
printf("Servo num: %d", servoNumber);
}
}
else
{
buffer[pos++] = 0; // delimit
corner = atoi((char*)(buffer+cornerStartPos));
printf("Corner: %d", corner);
}
}
It looks like you just need to correct
foo = ''; >>to>> foo = "";
foo += Serial.read(); >>to>> foo += char(Serial.read());
I made also shomething similar..:
void loop(){
while (myExp == "") {
myExp = myReadSerialStr();
delay(100);
}
}
String myReadSerialStr() {
String str = "";
while (Serial.available () > 0) {
str += char(Serial.read ());
}
return str;
}
This code reads string until it sees '>' character
void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
String msg = getMessage();
}
String getMessage() {
String msg = "";
while (Serial.available()>0) {
msg = Serial.readStringUntil('>');
}
return msg;
}
It's universal parser
struct servo
{
int iServoID;
int iAngle;
};
std::vector<std::string> split(const std::string& str, const std::string& delim)
{
std::vector<std::string> tokens;
size_t prev = 0, pos = 0;
do
{
pos = str.find(delim, prev);
if (pos == std::string::npos) pos = str.length();
std::string token = str.substr(prev, pos-prev);
if (!token.empty()) tokens.push_back(token);
prev = pos + delim.length();
}
while (pos < str.length() && prev < str.length());
return tokens;
}
std::vector<servo> getServoValues(const std::string& message)
{
std::vector<servo> servoList;
servo servoValue;
std::vector<std::string> servoString;
std::vector<std::string> values = split(message, ",");
for (const auto& v : values)
{
servoString.clear();
servoString = split(v, ";");
servoValue.iServoID = atoi(servoString[0].c_str()); //servoString[0].toInt();
servoValue.iAngle = atoi(servoString[1].c_str());// servoString[1].toInt();
servoList.emplace_back(servoValue);
}
return servoList;
}
to call:
std::string str = "1;233,2;123";
std::vector<servo> servos = getServoValues(str);
for (const auto & a : servos)
std::cout<<a.iServoID << " " << a.iAngle << std::endl;
Result
1 233
2 123

How to send a text file and append it using Arduino

I'm working on a GPS logger project. I have an Arduino Mega set up with a transmitter and receiver and GPS and GSM modules. I also have an Arduino Uno with a transmitter, receiver and buzzer.
When the two devices go too far from each other, the GPS data is pulled and sent to my web server using the GSM module. When I send my file to the server it creates a text file and when I move to another location it overwrites the previous location.
I'm trying to figure out how to append the text file instead of overwriting it. I found a lot of stuff using an SD card shield but nothing without it.

If the server is where the text file is received via SMS/GSM, that server program controls how the file is written or appended. Your posted Arduino code would not need to be changed. On the server, where you now open the file - first check if the file exists and if it does, change the open function to add append mode. Exactly how depends on the OS/language of your server program. But you should be able to figure it out from reading the documentation on the open call.
