Creating an array of variable names

hi,
i trying create array out of these names, possible?

deviceaddress part of dallastemperature library

code: [select]


deviceaddress black = {0x28, 0xff, 0x1a, 0xaa, 0x62, 0x15, 0x03, 0x20};
deviceaddress red   = {0x28, 0xff, 0xa9, 0xb4, 0x62, 0x15, 0x03, 0x0c};
deviceaddress green = {0x28, 0xff, 0xf5, 0xb3, 0x62, 0x15, 0x03, 0x3e};

how make work?
deviceaddress devices[] = {black, red, green};

so can use;
for(deviceaddress device : devices) {
  sensors.setresolution(device, 10);
}


thanks,
thorin

you can't put variable names in array because names used compiler , not exist in code uploaded arduino.

you can create array of pointers, may little complex if beginner.

a simpler way make array holds addresses - like

code: [select]

byte deviceaddresses[3][] = {
           {0x28, 0xff, 0x1a, 0xaa, 0x62, 0x15, 0x03, 0x20}.
           {0x28, 0xff, 0xa9, 0xb4, 0x62, 0x15, 0x03, 0x0c}.
           {0x28, 0xff, 0xf5, 0xb3, 0x62, 0x15, 0x03, 0x3e}
       }

(hope have syntax correct - not quite, see reply #2)
and can refer them deviceaddresss[0]  or [1] etc.

you have

code: [select]

#define black 0
#define red 1
#define green 2

and refer addresses deviceaddresses[red]; etc
