Hi

I am using a MicroMite to build a GPS Tracker with the DS18B20 Temp Sensor

The problem I have is that the temp printout has a space before the value, I cannot parse the data unless I remove it

Any Ideas?

Thanks

Not quite sure want you are trying to do
Could you post your code so we can help ?

Maybe this bit below will help

Temp = DS18B20(14)
Temp$ = Str$(Temp)
If Int(Val(Temp$)) < 10 Then Temp$ = " " + Temp$
Temp$ = Left$(Temp$,2) + "." + Str$(Int((Temp-Int(Temp))*10))

Print Temp$

Regards

Assuming value is in a string called Tdata$, then one way to strip a potential leading space is with:

IF LEFT$(Tdata$,1,1)=" " THEN
Tdata$=RIGHT$(Tdata$,2,(LEN(Tdata$)-1))
ENDIF

Another way is to convert string to value with the VAL command. I don't remember MMBasic having a TRIM command (or LTRIM), and don't currently have access to a user manual to check.

Not sure if FORMAT command has a syntax that may work too.

Above should give you something to go on . . . .
