my code did work now it wont, why?

Hey im new to mbed's and is just trying my luck with an analog temperature, lux and pH-sensor, the pH-sensors code was re-written from aduino which gave som problems, but they were solved. Now i tried to send it via wifly, it worked (on coolterm and the database) - then i changed something and then it didn't work anymore - not even the original, can someone tell me what i did wrong?

(sorry for a messy code)

Ignore Karen's answer, posting the code like that is fine, it's far better that way than an image or screen shot. You can't copy and paste the code from an image.

The online editor does include a magic wand icon which will format the code for you. It's a good way of getting consistent indenting and catching missing brackets etc...

What do you mean it doesn't work - what part doesn't work? Do you get any errors?

A couple of basic tips, I doubt either of these are the cause of the problem but they are good habits to have:

1) Avoid things like printf and too much floating point maths inside an interrupt (your ticker function). They are slow and interrupts should be as fast as possible. printf can block until the buffer is free which can take a long time. A single float operation is 100+ clock cycles, a double is 200+ cycles, any decimal numbers are doubles unless you put an f on the end e.g. 10.0 is a double, 10.0f is a float. Instead read the ADC values into some variables and set a flag, the main loop can then look for that flag and processes the results. This way you aren't blocking all other interrupts for thousands of CPU cycles.

2) Avoid using the c++ string data type when possible for embedded systems. It makes life easier at times but it is also slower and uses more memory than using the c style char* method of storing a string.

Also line 129 needs a cast to a float or double or it will do an integer division before converting to a double.
