hi
in atmel studio 06
i want create a function that return at command
i have this "AT+GSLP=time" , in this time can be changetime
i want right a function like this
Set_time(unsigned char time) and this return "AT+GSLP=time"
Example:
Set_time(100);
Return:
"AT+GSLP=100"
And I want Ice Cream......
You will need to show what you have done so far, explain what is happening and someone here will help you get it right. No code, no help!

Well i try with function to return array but it cant be in c atmel studio
Maybe i should work with pointer but i could not do it so far
Well, that may be, but without seeing your code, how would we know?
There is a sticky at the start of the forum that explains how to ask good questions so you can get good answers.
This is not a big question that want whole code.
Just give me a hint. I'll do the rest

I think that kiObk gave you a pretty good tip in his posts in this thread. Also, I am allergic to milk, so I want a pony instead.
Thanks I'll figure it out
Sorry to bother u

You have two options (at least):
Option #1
Pass an allocated buffer to the function.
Example call:
char timeCmdBuffer[32]; //.. or whatever langth is neccesary // Build the command ​BuildTimerCmdString( time, timeCmdBuffer); // Send it UartSendString(timeCmdBuffer);
Option #2
Have the string-building funtion allocate a local buffer. For this to work the buffer must be declared 'static' in the function (or it will effectively cease to exist when the function exits). The function returns a pointer to this buffer.
Example call:
UartSendString(BuildTimerCmdString(time));
Enough hints?

Why can't it ?
Show what you tried; explain why you feel it didn't work.
i should work with pointer
You do realise that arrays and pointers in 'C' are very closely related - don't you?

So, again, show what you tried!
This is basic 'C' stuff - nothing specifically to do with Atmel, Atmel Studio, nor AVR.
Here are some 'C' learning & reference resources: http://blog.antronics.co.uk/2011...
Just give me a hint
To start with, It will probably be easier to experiment on a PC - rather than on a microcontroller.
Another hint: look at the way that the standard string handling functions work: they manage to be passed strings (ie, arrays) and to return string (ie, array) results - don't they ... ?
On a more general note,
Example:Set_time(100);
Return:
"AT+GSLP=100"
Seems a rather bizarre approach.
Would it not be more straightforward to just have a set_time() function which would issue the appropriate AT Command?

I suspect the OP can't use Atmel Studio because he is not using an Atmel microprocessor in his project. Here is why I think so: https://www.avrfreaks.net/forum/a.... There is some conflicting information is his posts so I can't be sure. It is also clear the OP is not even doing a basic online search. The first keywords I typed into google returned 2 different app notes put out by NXP that does exactly what the OP is trying to do as the first links.
Edit to add: As far as doing it on a PC, this is my go to development setup for doing just that: https://sourceforge.net/projects... and this is the search string I tried: nxp send string out uart
this is the search string I tried: nxp send string out uart
To be fair, that isn't what he was trying to do - he was trying to get a function to return a string.
I guess his next question would be, "how can I send this string out of the UART?"
I suspect the OP can't use Atmel Studio because he is not using an Atmel microprocessor in his project.
In the OP, he states:
in atmel studio 06
i want create a function that return at command
so he is trying to use Atmel Studio.

What I believe he is trying to say is that he is unable to implement the desired function in C using Atmel Studio.
He was just asking for help in how to get started.

The thread has nothing to do with Studio issues so it is at best in the wrong forum. Moving to general programming for now.
