Sending sensor data using cayenne

I’m trying to modify the example named “LoRaWan_downlinkdatahandle” to send sensor date using the Cayenne LPP library.
I modified the prepareTxFrame function :
static void prepareTxFrame( uint8_t port )
{
/*appData size is LORAWAN_APP_DATA_MAX_SIZE which is defined in “commissioning.h”.
*appDataSize max value is LORAWAN_APP_DATA_MAX_SIZE.
*if enabled AT, don’t modify LORAWAN_APP_DATA_MAX_SIZE, it may cause system hanging or failure.
*if disabled AT, LORAWAN_APP_DATA_MAX_SIZE can be modified, the max value is reference to lorawan region and SF.
*for example, if use REGION_CN470,
*the max value for different DR can be found in MaxPayloadOfDatarateCN470 refer to DataratesCN470 and BandwidthsCN470 in “RegionCN470.h”.
*/
/appDataSize = 4;
appData[0] = 0x00;
appData[1] = 0x01;
appData[2] = 0x02;
appData[3] = 0x03;
/
lpp.reset();
lpp.addTemperature(4, bmp.readTemperature());
lpp.addBarometricPressure(7,(bmp.readPressure()/100.0));
appDataSize = lpp.getSize();
appData=lpp.getBuffer();

}

And i obtain an error :

Arduino : 1.8.19 (Windows Store 1.8.57.0) (Windows 10), Carte : “WiFi LoRa 32(V3) / Wireless shell(V3) / Wireless stick lite (V3), Core 1, Core 1, 240MHz (WiFi), 115200, None, REGION_EU868, None, CUSTOM, 8(default)”

C:\Users\tanguy-e\Documents\Arduino\LoRa\LoRaWan_downlinkdatahandle\LoRaWan_downlinkdatahandle.ino: In function ‘void prepareTxFrame(uint8_t)’:

LoRaWan_downlinkdatahandle:83:27: error: incompatible types in assignment of ‘uint8_t*’ {aka ‘unsigned char*’} to ‘uint8_t [255]’ {aka ‘unsigned char [255]’}

 appData=lpp.getBuffer();

                       ^

exit status 1

incompatible types in assignment of ‘uint8_t*’ {aka ‘unsigned char*’} to ‘uint8_t [255]’ {aka ‘unsigned char [255]’}

I’m quite a newbie and i can’t understand this type mismatch and how to solve it.
Thanks

Hi !

Have you find a workaround ?

Hi
Yes instead of
lpp.reset();
lpp.addTemperature(4, bmp.readTemperature());
lpp.addBarometricPressure(7,(bmp.readPressure()/100.0));
appDataSize = lpp.getSize();
appData=lpp.getBuffer();
use
lpp.reset();
lpp.addTemperature(4, bmp.readTemperature());
lpp.addBarometricPressure(7, (bmp.readPressure() / 100.0));
appDataSize = lpp.getSize();
int compteur;
for (compteur = 0 ; compteur < appDataSize ; compteur++)
{
appData[compteur] = lpp.getBuffer()[compteur];
}
