How do you store Fahrenheit temperature from the SHT as a variable?

[Nerd2]

I have a SHT temperature sensor attached to my propeller. I have the propeller displaying the Fahrenheit temperature on a TV screen but I need the temperature also to be stored in a variable as a whole number no decimal. This is so I can do several If Then statements. How do I do this?

[Sal Ammoniac]

Convert it to fixed point. Multiply the original value by 10 or 100 and truncate it down to an integer and store that.

[Nerd2]

How do I do that?
Here is part of my code


pri currenttemp | rawTemp, rawHumidity, tempC, rh, dewC,msd

rawTemp := f.FFloat(sht.readTemperature)
tempC := celsius(rawTemp)
curtemp :=(fp.FloatToFormat(fahrenheit(tempC), 2, 0))
' curtemp :=(fp.FloatToFormat(fahrenheit(tempC), 5, 1))
str(curtemp)

'Current Temp Slider
if curtemp > 090
gr.box (80,-10,5,12)'(x, y, box_width, box_height)
return
if curtemp > 85
gr.box (65,-10,5,12)'(x, y, box_width, box_height)
return
if curtemp[0] >= 80.0
gr.box (50,-10,5,12)'(x, y, box_width, box_height)
return
if curtemp > 7500
gr.box (35,-10,5,12)'(x, y, box_width, box_height)
return
if curtemp > 7000
gr.box (20,-10,5,12)'(x, y, box_width, box_height)
return
if curtemp > 6500
gr.box (5,-10,5,12)'(x, y, box_width, box_height)
return
if curtemp > 6000
gr.box (-10,-10,5,12)'(x, y, box_width, box_height)
return
if curtemp > 5500
gr.box (-25,-10,5,12)'(x, y, box_width, box_height)
return
if curtemp > 5000
gr.box (-40,-10,5,12)'(x, y, box_width, box_height)
return
if curtemp > 4500
gr.box (-55,-10,5,12)'(x, y, box_width, box_height
return
if curtemp > 4000
gr.box (-70,-10,5,12)'(x, y, box_width, box_height)
return

Here's my SHT15 code. Perhaps you can extract something useful from it.




'' SHT15 Driver
''
'' Pin assignments (relative to 'Pin' parameter passed to SHT15Init):
''
'' 0 SCK (output)
'' 1 Data (input/output, open drain)
''
''
'' Since the data line on an I2C device (SHT15 is I2C with one minor difference), and the Propeller doesn't
'' have true open drain I/O ports, we fake it as follows: leave the port set to '0' and toggle the state of
'' the direction register (dira). The combinations are:
''
'' dira[datapin] = 0 Input, high-Z, pulled high by pull-up resistor
'' dira[datapin] = 1 Output, pulled low

I guess my problem is I have a string value of 85.0 I need this converted to a decimal value 85.

[Ttailspin]

Maybe You Might have to "TRUNC" it.
This comes straight from the Prop Manual.
TRUNC ( FloatConstant )
Returns: Integer that is the given floating-point constant value truncated at the decimal point.
•· FloatConstant is the floating-point constant expression to be truncated to an integer.
Explanation
TRUNC is one of three directives (FLOAT, ROUND and TRUNC) used for floating-point constant expressions.
TRUNC returns an integer constant that is the given floating-point constant expression with the fractional portion removed.

I·don't know if this is what you were thinking of, or·is this way off base?

Try using this line




pri currenttemp | rawTemp, rawHumidity, tempC, rh, dewC,msd
rawTemp := f.FFloat(sht.readTemperature)
rawtemp := f.round(rawtemp)




That should bring it to a decimal just remember that you cant use the expression floatotformat after that, at least for this variable

[Nerd2]

I got it working thanks for all of your help here is my code if anyone wants to use it.


rawTemp := f.FFloat(sht.readTemperature)
tempC := celsius(rawTemp)
curtemp := f.FAdd(f.FMul(tempc, 1.8), 32.0)
curtemp := f.fround(curtemp)
