How to change Multiple variable values through Serial Monitor

Question

I am trying ... with minimal success to change/Check and also run voids through the serial monitor .the code i put i am having probles is that when i am try to send a value larger than 9 the value assigns a diffrent number Ex i set to 200 but arduino sets it as 512.. i got around it deviding the value by 1.6 and got me the new number and only works upto 90 , but i am tryn to see how it should be done correctly...

const uint16_t inputLength = 512;
int ss = 0;
int bHold = 0;
void setup() { 
 Serial.begin(9600);
 }
 void loop() {
 if ( Serial.available() > 0 )
 {
 static char input[inputLength];
 static uint16_t i;
 char c = Serial.read();
 if ( c != '\r' && c != '\n' && i < inputLength - 1)
 input[i++] = c;
 else
 {
 input[i] = '0円';
 i = 0;
 uint16_t array[80];
 uint16_t j = 0;
 if ( !strncmp(input, "ss", 2) )
 { 
 char* p = input + 2;
 while ( (p = strchr(p, ' ')) != NULL )
 array[j++] = strtol(p, &p, 10); //< changed from 16
 for ( uint8_t i = 0; i < j; i++ )
 {
 ss = array[i];
 Serial.println(ss);
 }
 }
 if ( !strncmp(input, "bHold", 5) )
 { 
 char* p = input + 5;
 while ( (p = strchr(p, ' ')) != NULL )
 array[j++] = strtol(p, &p, 10); //< changed from 16
 for ( uint8_t i = 0; i < j; i++ )
 {
 bHold = array[i];
 // bHold=bHold /1.6; 
 Serial.println(bHold);
 }
 }
 if ( !strncmp(input, "Whos There", 10) )
 {
 Serial.print("me");
 }
 if ( !strncmp(input, "hello", 5) )
 {
 Serial.print("hi");
 }
 if ( !strncmp(input, "sa", 2) )
 {
 Serial.print(" ss= ");
 Serial.print(ss);
 Serial.print(" bHold= ");
 Serial.print(bHold);
 Serial.println(" ");
 Serial.println("==============================");
 }
 }
 }
}

Thank you for any tips you can give...

EDIT: I am trying to pass a new value with command on the serial monitor "ss 500"..so that in the arsuino ss = 500. but in this case it makes it equal to 1280.

EDIT2: Chaged the strol to 10...works perfectly ...Thank you TisteAndii!!!!

• Mikael Patel: What do you mean with "ss = array[i], DEC;". That is "ss=DEC" and gives the same value ss. Should be "ss = array[i]; Serial.println(ss, DEC);"
• SoreDakeNoKoto: Edit the code in your post if you have made any changes to it so far.

Answer 1

You are setting the input string's base to 16 instead of 10 in your strtol conversions, which is why you are getting 1280 when you expect 500.

• Nick Gammon: Ex i set to 200 but arduino sets it as 512 - TisteAndii is right. 0x200 is 512 in decimal.
