PA Temp readings
James Whiteway
Member
Somewhere I read a post by Steve that detailed the changes in Flexlib api that corrected the value returned from the api when reading the PA temp. Try as I might, I cannot find that post!
So, I'm hoping someone, (Steve maybe) has the correct method to read the meter with v1.4 of the api. Currently, using my testbed program, I get a reading of 5,180 degrees F ! Of course, that's using a workaround that was posted in the API section that corrected erroneous readings that the previous version of the api returned.
Any leads?
:-)

Hi James: The value returned to your method will now be in degrees C. No need for multiplier. I have not done much to my flex app but will definitely look at that wiki. 73, Tom K1FR1

Here is what I use - all I had to do was comment out the *64.0f multiplier:
private void radio_PATempDataReady(float data) {
Console.WriteLine(",,,,,,,,,,,PA Temp data event handler fired");
float PA_temp_data = data;
//PA_temp_data *= 64.0f;
PA_temp_data = (PA_temp_data * 9.0f / 5.0f) + 32.0f;
textPATemp.Text = String.Format("{0:f1}", PA_temp_data) + " F";
}

Just for your reference, here's what I wrote for temp James:
private void OnPaTempDataReady(float data) {
//
// Need a multiplier to correct the value on 1.3.8
//
if (data < 1)
{
data *= 64;
}
PaTempTextBox.Text = data.ToString("###0.00");
//
// At 70, fan goes to its highest setting according to Eric
if (data >= 70)
{
//
// The radio shuts down at 90! So give 10 degrees warning.
//
PaTempTextBox.ForeColor = data >= 80 ? Color.Red : Color.Yellow;
}

Ohhhhhhhh, I like that! I'm assuming you're using Celsius instead of Fahrenheit for readout. So, I am thinking of making a selection where the user (me for now) can choose between degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit. I think I can actually do that one !! hehehe
Thanks again for posting Peter. Definitely adding this to the test app and my code snippet collection.
