Display object recognition values as integers
Anonymous

I'm trying to configure the serial communications module to send object orientation as only an integer. I've seen that this is possible for blob tracking, but I am using object recognition and can't find any setting for integers. Right now it gives me three decimals of superfluous data. Is there a way to configure this?

Thanks

This will depend on how you have specified things in the serial module. Most likely the number is being transmitted as a 4 byte floating point number which is the most efficient way to send a decimal number. If you just want a single text integer you can try

\i[my_variable]

but this could be 1 byte or 3 bytes (i.e. 5 degrees or 324 degrees). Note the 'i' between the \ and [.

Or you can try

\w[my_variable]

which would send a 2 integer byte with the first byte being the higher value, i.e. byte * 256.
