RF95 radio, how to format data

Hi,

I want to transmit two integer values of an analog poti 0-1023.
What's the smartest way to transmit this and how to seperate them again at the receiving side?
Unfortunately I didnt find any example how to handle it

// rf95_reliable_datagram_client.pde
// -*- mode: C++ -*-
// Example sketch showing how to create a simple addressed, reliable messaging client
// with the RHReliableDatagram class, using the RH_RF95 driver to control a RF95 radio.
// It is designed to work with the other example rf95_reliable_datagram_server
// Tested with Anarduino MiniWirelessLoRa, Rocket Scream Mini Ultra Pro with the RFM95W 

#include <RHReliableDatagram.h>
#include <RH_RF95.h>
#include <SPI.h>

#define CLIENT_ADDRESS 1
#define SERVER_ADDRESS 2

// Singleton instance of the radio driver
RH_RF95 driver;
//RH_RF95 rf95(5, 2); // Rocket Scream Mini Ultra Pro with the RFM95W

// Class to manage message delivery and receipt, using the driver declared above
RHReliableDatagram manager(driver, CLIENT_ADDRESS);

// Need this on Arduino Zero with SerialUSB port (eg RocketScream Mini Ultra Pro)
//#define Serial SerialUSB

void setup() 
{
  // Rocket Scream Mini Ultra Pro with the RFM95W only:
  // Ensure serial flash is not interfering with radio communication on SPI bus
//  pinMode(4, OUTPUT);
//  digitalWrite(4, HIGH);

  Serial.begin(9600);
  while (!Serial) ; // Wait for serial port to be available
  if (!manager.init())
    Serial.println("init failed");
  // Defaults after init are 434.0MHz, 13dBm, Bw = 125 kHz, Cr = 4/5, Sf = 128chips/symbol, CRC on

  // The default transmitter power is 13dBm, using PA_BOOST.
  // If you are using RFM95/96/97/98 modules which uses the PA_BOOST transmitter pin, then 
  // you can set transmitter powers from 5 to 23 dBm:
//  driver.setTxPower(23, false);
  // If you are using Modtronix inAir4 or inAir9,or any other module which uses the
  // transmitter RFO pins and not the PA_BOOST pins
  // then you can configure the power transmitter power for -1 to 14 dBm and with useRFO true. 
  // Failure to do that will result in extremely low transmit powers.
//  driver.setTxPower(14, true);
}

uint8_t data[] = "Hello World!";

// Dont put this on the stack:
uint8_t buf[RH_RF95_MAX_MESSAGE_LEN];

void loop()
{
  Serial.println("Sending to rf95_reliable_datagram_server");

    
  // Send a message to manager_server
  if (manager.sendtoWait(data, sizeof(data), SERVER_ADDRESS))
  {
    // Now wait for a reply from the server
    uint8_t len = sizeof(buf);
    uint8_t from;   
    if (manager.recvfromAckTimeout(buf, &len, 2000, &from))
    {
      Serial.print("got reply from : 0x");
      Serial.print(from, HEX);
      Serial.print(": ");
      Serial.println((char*)buf);
    }
    else
    {
      Serial.println("No reply, is rf95_reliable_datagram_server running?");
    }
  }
  else
    Serial.println("sendtoWait failed");
  delay(500);

}

There are two popular ways to transmit data like that: formatted ASCII integers separated by a comma or binary, 4 bytes.

Human readable integers have obvious advantages, but binary takes up less space in a packet.

Comma separated ASCII values can be split out using the strtok() function and converted to binary using atoi(). No effort is required to separate two binary values, as that is inherent in your record structure.
