read data from arduino and react when data is larger than a zero












0















in c#
i'm trying to read data from arduino so when the data is not "0" i will get a reaction.



The signal from arduino is ok and displays on the label but i cannot use the "<" condition.



        private void ArduinoTMR_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string ard1 = Arduino.ReadLine();

label2.Text = ard1;
if (ard1 > "0")
{
label2.BackColor = Color.Red;
}
else
label2.BackColor = Color.Blue;

}

    why do you even think that you can compare a string with the > operator?? you can't. You would first have to convert it to int

It doesn't work, because you're comparing two strings and not numbers. Mathematical operators like > can't be applied to strings.



This is what you're looking for:



private void ArduinoTMR_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string ard1 = Arduino.ReadLine();

label2.Text = ard1;

if(!int.TryParse(ard1, out var state)) return; // try to convert text to a number

label2.BackColor = state > 0 ? Color.Red : Color.Blue; // now compare the parsed number to the number 0
}


If what you get from your Arduino is only 1 or 0, you could think about parsing it to a byte as well.

    You can't use > or < operators with the strings, you have to do this before:



    int ard1converted=Convert.ToInt32(ard1);


    and then



    if (ard1converted> 0)
    //do something
