Hi
Please excuse my ignorance, I'm a noob...
I'm using the script below as a test to pass analog data from an UNO in my shed to an Uno in my house using two nRF24LOI radio modules.
This works fine and I can read the two analog levels on a serial monitor in the house.
What I want to do is to use these two levels to do meaningful stuff with ie. set an alarm off when levels get too high and similar other tasks.
I know how to do stuff with integers but I can't get my head round how I turn the received data packets into integers for further processing.
Are they strings that are being sent?.....bit confused over this.
Anyhoo, hope that makes sense and I would be gratefull for some pointers.
Here is the receive part of the script and as I say, the serial monitor is showing the two columns of "shed" analog data perfectely...
Thank you
Phil
