function logbug()

Hi

 

I came up to the function logbug(color, message) which is used in devices of @Sankotronic but I have seen it in many scenes.

Can someone explain what the function does except the debug colors?

It replaces characters in the string that have special meaning in html. It does that because the output window of the "debug" statement is actually a piece of html encoded text. As long as you print simple things like "3.14" you won't notice anything, because most parts of html specification match "unicode characters" (which matches big part of ASCII encoding).

 

Those characters are:

And also handles carriage return and line feed. The \xyz is "Lua octal encoding".

 

It uses Lua's "regular expressions" to match and substitute those characters (bytes):

In addition to this: @petergebruers  I converted the battery check code code of @Sankotronic  to HC3. It works fine but i get some output which comes from this LogBug Function. I tried to fix it, but i have trouble finding out why i get the NIL output. Do you have a clue?

 

Here is the output

[? INFO! ID: 23 - MOTIONVERANDAVOOR (VERANDA VOOR) BATTERIJ IS OP 100 %]: nil

[? INFO! ID: 29 - DEURKEUKENSMAL (KEUKEN) BATTERIJ IS OP 85 %]: nil

[? INFO! ID: 33 - DEURWOONKAMER (WOONKAMER) BATTERIJ IS OP 100 %]: nil

[❗️ INFO! ID: 37 - DEURHAL (HAL) BATTERIJ IS OP 35 %]: nil

 

@Twannie I hope you don't mind i use your thread for this, but i thought its is about the same function which may be an excuse....
