Im trying to make a small battery tester.

It is charging up battery fine up to 2kv while reading analog values, then goes into discharging loop and dies there. I need help with the second loop.

Can you please help?

I want to charge and discharge while reading analog values over and over again in endless loop.

void loop(){
  
  // read the raw data coming in on analog pin 0:
  int val = analogRead(analogPin);  // read the input pin
  // Convert the raw data value (0 - 1023) to voltage (0.0V - 5.0V):
  float voltage = val * (5.0 / 1024.0); 
  //convert to actual voltage
  int volts = voltage * 10000; 

  
  //if the voltage is less than 2,000v keep charging
  if (voltage < 0.19){
  lcd.setCursor(1,1);
  lcd.print("Charging     ");
  digitalWrite(chargePin, HIGH); 
  
  //print to lcd
  lcd.setCursor(1,0);  
  lcd.print("Volts: ");
  lcd.print(volts); 
  lcd.print("     ");
  delay(100); 
  }

  else{  
    //we reached 2000v, discharge untill fully discharged
    while (voltage > 0.01){  
    lcd.setCursor(1,1);
    lcd.print("Discharging    ");
    digitalWrite(chargePin, LOW);
    
    //print to lcd
    lcd.setCursor(1,0);  
    lcd.print("Volts: ");
    lcd.print(volts); 
    lcd.print("     ");
    delay(100); 
    }
  }

Tried to use VC++ 2008 command line utility cl to compile the code that contains an array with variable size. A lot of errors were generated. In Linux all needs to do is to include the option -std=C99 when compiling. Is there any workaround for it? Can any gurus shed some light to it? Thanks a lot.

I have an electronics board which has 16 relays and it works over TCP/IP.
The IP address of the board is 192.168.1.4 and the port is 3000.
I would like to control it with C/C++ under Ubuntu.

There is a list of HEX commands that it is possible to use in order to remotely switch ON and OFF each relay on the board.
This is the list:

"580112000000016C", // switch on the relay 1

"580111000000016B", // switch off the relay 1
"580112000000026D", // switch on the relay 2
"580111000000026C", // switch off the relay 2
"580112000000036E", // so on..
"580111000000036D",

I'm correctly able to switch on and off each relay by sending command line commands under Ubuntu:

I'm developing a WxWidgets application under Ubuntu and I'm using CodeBlocks as IDE.

I need to:

read the data stored in a magnetic card band

check if they are OK

parse the string in order to get the code, the name and the surname

I'm using a USB magnetic card reader and I set a TextCtrl as "focused" so it immediately gets the data from the reader automatically.

The format of the string is like this:

%URSMCC84R04E815LURSO  MARCO_ò8038001605011036724_

Open in new window

The control characters are always the same and I need to read everything between % and _.
I need to obtain three strings:

the first one containing the first 16 chars

the second contains the surname which goes from the 17th till the first space

the third string contains the name and goes from the first char after the space till the _

What is the best way to do this in Wxwidgets?
Moreover, since the reader emulates a keyboard, the output string is read a char at a time, so how can I design the parsing code?

This is the code I'm using to read the string.

void ProjectFrame::OntesseraText(wxCommandEvent& event)
{
    wxString stringa_tessera = tessera->GetValue(); // I read the string coming from the USB reader
    TextCtrl2->ChangeValue( stringa_tessera ); // I load the string in the second TextCtrl just for test
}

void ProjectFrame::OnTextCtrl2Text(wxCommandEvent& event)
{
// TextCtrl used to display the parsed string
}

Open in new window

I see that there is a class wxStringTokenizer, should I use it?
I'm sorry but I'm just a beginner :(

Thank you!

I am writing a Win32 Service application using embarcadero XE 10.1 Berlin C++ builder on a 64 bit Windows 7 PC.

I am starting with a trivial project prior to putting "flesh on the bones", but can't get the simple example to work ?
when I run the application with /install as a command line parameter (which usually installs the service app), I get the following error instead.

Exception EOSError in module KERNELBASE.dll at 0000C5AF.
System Error. code 5
Access is denied.

I get this error regardless of whether or not the Beep function is called.
I have set the StartType to stDisabled so I would expect the service application to be installed but it isn't.
The code is as follows, any help would be appreciated. I have written service applications before using Borland C++ builder but no Embarcadero XE C++ builder.

C++ file:

#include "Unit1.h"
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#pragma package(smart_init)
#pragma resource "*.dfm"

TTestServiceName *TestServiceName;
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
__fastcall TTestServiceName::TTestServiceName(TComponent* Owner)
	: TService(Owner)
{
}

void __stdcall ServiceController(unsigned CtrlCode)
{
	TestServiceName->Controller(CtrlCode);
}

TServiceController __fastcall TTestServiceName::GetServiceController(void)
{
	return (TServiceController) ServiceController;
}

Hi, I am trying to see the actual address that a C/C++ pointer points to. I can easily see the data that it points to but I'm trying to see the actual address of those data, i.e., the contents of the pointer itself.

I am using cout for the attempted display of this which will be an address in hex (along with other data that displays just fine in my cout statement).

The environment is VS2015.

Any help will be appreciated.

I am coding a C++ class which has a member function void Start(list<int> lst);

I wish to assign a default value to the lst parameter but I haven't worked out how to declare and implement this in the declaration of the member function .

How would I declare this with a default list of integers 1,3,5,7 for example ?

class MyClass

        public:
        MyClass(){};
       ~MyClass(){};

Hi,

I tried to find the free space on mounted volume which is aws elastic filesystem. used statvfs api to find, but statvfs_obj.f_bavail and statvfs_obj.f_blocks are 13digit numbers, statvfs_obj.f_files and statvfs_obj.f_ffree are zeros.

How to retrieve correct details from mounted aws efs on linux by using statvfs( mounted_filesys_path, &statvfs_struct_obj). Th path looks like /mnt/efs_mounted_from_xx_city.

OS: RHEL7.4,

mount details: nfs4, rw,relatime,vers=4.1,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,namlen=255,hard,noresvport,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,clientaddr=xxxx,local_lock=none,addr=xxxxx 0 0

Quickreport 6.0 not working

I have just purchased QuickReport 6.0 Professional and can't get it to compile. to illustrate this I have created a trivial application as follows:
The missing file that appears to be missing is QuickRp.h (NOT QuickRp.hpp)
I have contacted QBS software for support and they are experiencing the same problem and haven't come up with a solution so far after three days.,
any help would be appreciated.

I have a simple Form (Windows VCL 32bit application) with a TQuickRep control placed on the form and a TQRBand.
The header file of the project is as follows:
class TForm1 : public TForm
{
__published: // IDE-managed Components
TQuickRep *QuickRep1;
TQRBand *QRBand1;
private: // User declarations
public: // User declarations
__fastcall TForm1(TComponent* Owner);
};
The first attempt to use it with Embarcadero C++ builder XE 10.1 Berlin gives an error messages when I attempt to save the project prior to compilation:
“Unable to find header file for component: QuickRpt”
Pressing cancel results in the same error message being displayed 6 times in total.

The code doesn’t compile as the header files are missing and the compiler error “Type name expected” is given (naturally)

The installation ran without any errors using the downloaded file QuickReportv6QR6DXE10_1_Berlin_W64_installer.exe
The PC is a Dell Precision laptop running 64 bit windows 7 Professional …
