I want to compose a JSON string from sensor data (say a temperature and a humidity), so I’ll have a JSON string that looks something like this:

{“temperature”:”32″, “humidity”:”57″}

The variable values are from int32_t or maybe float. I’m having trouble composing the string and pushing it onto the vector. After some compile errors, I settled on using char[] rather than strings, because it seemed easier to concatenate with char[] and convert int32_t. Code looks like this:

std::vector<uint8_t> data;
char str1[] = "temperature:";
char str2[] = "humidity";
char str3[] = "other";
char buf[60];
//just trying to compose a string, not worried if not json format for now
snprintf(buf, sizeof buf, "%s%d%s%s", str1, counter_test, str2, str3);
...
...
for (int i=0; i<59; i++){
  //data.push_back(buf[i]);    //doesn't make a difference
  data.push_back((uint8_t)buf[i]);
}

...
...
if ((ret = dot->send(data)) != mDot::MDOT_OK) {
    logError("failed to send %d:%s", ret, mDot::getReturnCodeString(ret).c_str());
} else {
    logInfo("successfully sent data to gateway");
}
...
logInfo("The String is = %s", buf);

I don’t see any data sent over, and the log file saids:

[INFO] network not joined, joining network
[INFO] TX Frequency: 912300000 SF: 10 BW: 125 kHz POW: 11 dBm
[ERROR] Data exceeds datarate max payload
[ERROR] failed to send -1:Invalid Parameter
[INFO] The String is = temperature:3humidityother

The string looks right (I know it’s not the correct JSON format, but I’m not worried about that now). The way I'm pushing it onto the vector seems incorrect. I'm not sure how to do this with char[]. I'm comparing the my char method to the String examples from Multitech.

for (std::string::iterator it = data_str.begin(); it != data_str.end(); it++)
   data.push_back((uint8_t) *it);

Thanks,
Eric
