Need to add id(derived by me) in URL of NFC module

[AKanade]

Hello,

i am using nRF52832 Development kit.

and segger embedded studio for debugging

i have just started with NFC module. i run the NFC example "record_url"  and it is working fine 

Now i want to modify this example and add the id( which is derived by me and it is uint32_t type) 

so my url look like "mysite.com/id=<id>"

suppose i have one variable 

uint32_t id = 12345;

here i want to add this id in my url 

is it possible to add this type of id in the url because as i go through the example, the url buffer is const and i have uint32_t type id value which i want to add in url.

i don't know how i can add this.

can you please help me with this.

i don't want to give the hard coded id at the coding stage. i want to give this id in url at the time of initialization( run time of the device )

Hi,

Yes this is possible. 

You would have to take in the data that you want to add and format it correctly to a

uint8_t buffer. The buffer is then passed to nfc_uri_msg_encode() to set the correct prefix and finally to nfc_t2t_payload_set().

can i take the char buffer instead of uint8_t buffer and pass it to nfc_uri_msg_encode ?

[AKanade]

or can i do like this, will take the char buffer,
static char url[len] = "myurl"

and when pass this char buffer to  nfc_uri_msg_encode(), will simply type cast the buffer like this 

( uint8_t * )url

Hi,

uint8_t is just a typdef for unsigned char, it's effectively the same. You can therefore pass a unsigned char buffer instead.
