Thinger pson& out cuts numbers behind coma and routd strange

1

Hi everyone.

I would need your quick help.

I read my GPS Sensor and wanted to mount it to the Thinger Platform.

Here is my Code:

        thing["GPSData"] << [](pson& out){
                myfile.open("/var/log/thinger.txt", ofstream::out | ofstream::app);
                myfile << currentDateTime() << " | Start IP Thing: " << endl;

                int fd = openPort("/dev/ttyUSB0");
                int i=1;
                while (i) {
                    float lat, lon;
                    getLocation(fd,&lat,&lon);

                    int intlat = (int)lat;
                    int intlon = (int)lon;

                    if (intlat == 0){
//                    cout << "GPS is not Ready: " << lat << " | " << lon << endl;
                    }

                    if (intlat != 0){
cout << "lat: " << lat << endl;
cout << "lon: " << lon << endl;
                      out["Latitude"] = lat;
                      out["Lognitude"] = lon;
                      i=0;
                    }
                }
                myfile.close();
        };

When I run thinger, the two cout gives me the following output, which is correct:

lat: 48.391415
lon: 7.935467

But on the Thinger Server i got the following

How can I correct my Code that the Longitude and Latitude becomes equivalent to the Cout.

Many Thanks

I think that I’ve read about this, about a weird issue with thinger and decimals,

Maybe you can try to convert it to string just to show the values.

Hi ega,

I have successfully changed the above Code

double toDouble(float fValue)
{
  char czDummy[30];
  printf(czDummy,"%9.5f",fValue);
  double dValue = strtod(czDummy,NULL);
  return dValue;
}

        thing["GPSData"] << [](pson& out){
                myfile.open("/var/log/thinger.txt", ofstream::out | ofstream::app);
                myfile << currentDateTime() << " | Start IP Thing: " << endl;

                int fd = openPort("/dev/ttyUSB0");
                int i=1;
                while (i) {
                    float lat, lon;
                    getLocation(fd,&lat,&lon);

                    int intlat = (int)lat;
                    int intlon = (int)lon;

                    if (intlat == 0){
//                    cout << "GPS is not Ready: " << lat << " | " << lon << endl;
                    }

                    if (intlat != 0){
                      double dlon = lon;
                      auto strlon = to_string(dlon);
                      double dlat = lat;
                      auto strlat = to_string(dlat);
                      out["Latitude"] = strlat;
                      out["Lognitude"] = strlon;
                      i=0;
                    }
                }
                myfile.close();
        };

Have a nice Day

I cannot reproduce the issue:

I have tested defining a resource with a fixed location:

47

And it seems to appear correctly in the API explorer:

56

Hello,

Sorry but I see that in the Code you have at latitude less precision (instead of 6 you get 4 and on longitude instead of 6 you have 5. In my point of view the Web api explorer should display the two values with the exact precision of the out[] code

I think you should review the code behind that…

Hello,

You have just reproduced it…!
See what precision you have behind the coma in your Code and in the Web…
Code = 48.391415
API Explorer= 48.3914 -> Two numbers behind the Coma is cut

Thanks to Fix this Problem
