Cannot print more than two values in a single command line using NRF_LOG_FLOAT_MARKER

[Shri1395]

Hi, 

I have been trying to print out the float values using the NRF_LOG_FLOAT_MARKER, and i am only able to print 2 values in a single NRF_LOG_INFO line. Is there a way to print 3 values in a single line?

Currently this is what i have been using to print 2 values:
NRF_LOG_INFO("Data 1: "NRF_LOG_FLOAT_MARKER" Data 2: "NRF_LOG_FLOAT_MARKER" \r\n", NRF_LOG_FLOAT(Value_1), NRF_LOG_FLOAT(Value_2));
NRF_LOG_FLUSH();

But if i want to print 3 values:

NRF_LOG_INFO("Data 1: "NRF_LOG_FLOAT_MARKER" Data 2: "NRF_LOG_FLOAT_MARKER" Data 3: "NRF_LOG_FLOAT_MARKER"\r\n", NRF_LOG_FLOAT(Value_1), NRF_LOG_FLOAT(Value_2), NRF_LOG_FLOAT(Value_3));
NRF_LOG_FLUSH();

I get an error, saying: undefined reference to `LOG_INTERNAL_9'

Hi,

Unfortunately, nRF Logger is only implemented for 0 to 6 arguments. NRF_LOG_FLOAT_MARKER use 3 arguments to print one float ("%s%d.%02d"). You can use sprintf to print more floats to a string, and pass this string to NRF_LOG afterwards.

Best regards,

Hi, I  checked Jørgen's solution and it works fine Here is an example

          
main(){
    char array[100] = {0};
    ...
    ... // whatever your code is
    ...
    sprintf(array,"%.2f %.2f %.2f %.2f", floatVal_A, floatVal_B, floatVal_C, floatVal_D);
    NRF_LOG_INFO( " Float Values are: %s", array);
}

Thanks for the solution. Unfortunately "%f" does not work. Nothing gets updated on the array pointer. Do you know what needs to be done to enable %f output? Though NRF_LOG_FLOAT_MARKER works but that doesn't use %f.

This sounds to me like you have not enabled the float option in the project printf/scanf options.

Actually, that is not an example of what Jørgen Holmefjord said at all!

The whole point of the NRF_LOG_FLOAT_MARKER is that it lets you print floats without using %f - and the extra library code which that requires.

Unfortunately, it was wrong!

Indeed - as masterLee says, you need additional library support to use %f.
