RE: Just trying to get to grip with xpl

["Paul Smith" <ukha@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi John,


Thanks for that. I have to also admit I hadn't spotted the help
built-in to xplHal.

So after just a few minutes I now have the temp being told to me by TTS.
Well impressed.


Regards,

Paul

Hi Paul,

Assuming the temperature reading is contained in the current= element
from the incoming message, put:

{XPL::CURRENT}

as the value of the global.
Anything inside curly brackets is treated as a special value.
The XPL:: prefix means substitute the value of the global with a value
from the incoming xPL message.
So whatever is contained within the "current=" tag from the
incoming
sensor message will now be put into the global.

HTH,

John
