Receivetime and Request in 1.6

[sundberg84]

Hi!

Im building a sketch in 1.6.0b where im first request time and then request a v_text (code pretty much standard)

requestTime();
request(messageCHILD, V_TEXT, 0);

void receiveTime(unsigned long time) {
  // Ok, set incoming time 
  Serial.println("requesting time");
  setTime(time);
  timeReceived = true;
}

// This is called when a message is received 
void receive(const MyMessage &message) {
    Serial.print("Msg 2 Child: "); Serial.print(message.sensor); Serial.print(", Message: "); Serial.println(message.getLong());
    if (message.sensor == messageCHILD){
        if (message.type==V_TEXT) {                     // Text content
        temp = message.getLong();        // copy it in
            newMessageAvailable = true ;
        }
    }
}

But the text and time as mixed up and i recieve not only my textmessage but also the time in V_TEXT:

Log:
requesting time
read: 0-0-105 s=255,c=3,t=1,pt=0,l=10,sg=0:1450651817
send: 105-105-0-0 s=8,c=2,t=47,pt=0,l=0,sg=0,st=ok:
read: 0-0-105 s=8,c=2,t=47,pt=0,l=2,sg=0:10
Message: 8, Message: 1050651817

10 is read and its the right value, but the message.getlong is 1050651817

@AWI or anyone?

@sundberg84 said:

temp = message.getLong();

I don't understand why you try to get a long-value from the incoming text-message?

You seem to receive a 2 byte string (pt=0) which indicates a string.
https://github.com/mysensors/Arduino/blob/development/libraries/MySensors/core/MyMessage.h#L180

If you read a long (4-bytes) you'll probably pick up trash from the previous message.

@hek Ok, I was thinkig that it can be a 10.7 as temp as well and i will only send temp values.
What do you suggest i use?

Try using msg.getString()

Ok, tried that but it doesnt work. Its like the recieve time variable doesnt empty and the first numbers is just overwritten:

read: 0-0-105 s=255,c=3,t=1,pt=0,l=10,sg=0:1451249777
requesting time
send: 105-105-0-0 s=8,c=2,t=47,pt=0,l=0,sg=0,st=ok:
read: 0-0-105 s=8,c=2,t=47,pt=0,l=3,sg=0:5.5
Msg to Child: 8, Message: 5.51249777

So the variable with my time is 5.5 and 1249777 from time.
