Complex number printing

[PetrusBotha]

How can I do a Serial.println() for an array variable which has been delared as a complex number?

the code below provides me with the following errors

Code: [Select]


//   Include FFT header
#include "librowfft.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <complex.h>


complex *pSignal = new complex[1024];
int Mysignal;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(57600);
}

void loop() {
  for (int i=0;i<1024;i++){
  pSignal[i]=analogRead(0);
  }
  CFFT::Forward(pSignal, 1024);
 
for (int p=0;p<1024;p++){
    Serial.println(pSignal[p]);
}

  Serial.println("fftdone");
  //}
  delay(10000);

How can I do a Serial.println() for an array variable which has been delared as a complex number?

What is a complex? A link to the library is needed.

[AWOL]

Code: [Select]

complex *pSignal = new complex[1024];
int Mysignal;
That's a lot of RAM - what are you running this on?

[KeithRB]

It is probably not included for space reasons. You will have to roll your own. Like AWOL hinted at, if you are going to do lots of complex arithmetic, you probably need to rethink your processor approach.

FYI my complex lib supports Serial.println()

see - https://github.com/RobTillaart/Arduino/tree/master/libraries/Complex - for the last version.

You can use it as an example how to build print support into your complex lib too.
