LUA : An easy way to separate an int64 into two int32 ?

[hfebraud]

Hi everybody,

I'm looking for a solution to separate one data int64 into two data int32, in the aim to send energy from a smartlink (int64) via bacnet (int32).

In the device wich receive the two point int32 via Bacnet, i will aggregate this two points to reach the original value.

Thanks, 
Best regards

Which device are you using? Latest LM firmware supports int64 in BACnet.

Which device are you using? Latest LM firmware supports int64 in BACnet.

It's a Wiser for KNX in 2.4.0

There is a fix for this, you can send the whole int64.

You may need latest fw for wiser 2.5.1

Thanks everybody, it works fine.
Solution : firmware 2.5.1 with patch is OK

I hope this can help someone else.

Hi,

And if you ever need to do a split with a 8 byte value into 2x 4 bytes you can do it like this:

Code:

value = 0xffffffff
high32 = bit.rshift(bit.band(value,0xffff0000),16)
low32 = bit.band(value,0x0000ffff)

BR,

@Erwin, you example splits 32 bits into two 16 bit values. Lua bit operations work only with 32 bit numbers. FFI can be used to convert between different types:

Code:

function u64_to_u32(value)
  local ffi = require('ffi')
  local u64 = ffi.new('uint64_t[1]', value)
  local u32 = ffi.new('uint32_t[2]')
  ffi.copy(u32, u64, 8)
  return u32[0], u32[1]
end

value = math.pow(2, 53) - 1 -- some large value

u32_l, u32_h = u64_to_u32(value)
log(u32_l, u32_h)

Aahhh, yep your right 4x8 = still 32 (:

Sorry missed that on my free day (:
