Wemos ESPNow Sensor Update

 Thought I'd just catch where we are in sending ESPNow data from garden, especially spuds, to man cave "boss" WEmos.

Working OK with sensing temperature and humidity on the desk using #include "SparkFunHTU21D.h" in Code. There are pictures on previous posts of Wemos Mini I and II, called sender or Sensor or Slave to Boss or Receiver or master. Think I need better and more consistent names.

 The half second sensing loop is too short, so when sensor Wemos goes back nto garden it will have delay of, say, one hour. Need to sort out sleep routines. Currently just waiting til millis times out after 5000.

Want to make sure it's known what happens during the loop in sensor sending program, so put in little "stop watch" readings, about 5 of them, during main phases. Spent several hours going through outputs of millis that were feed out to serial terminal. See photos below:

These pics are from work book 2B8 with 9/22 on spine. There, in the book, is an expanded account of what's going on. 


Below: some notes about timing the sensor packet sending and reading.

Spud sensor update 3 August 2022

Image
 Sender WemosI going ok. This is driven by C:\Users\Dell\Documents\Arduino\WorkingOctober22\SpudSensor94H\SpudSensor94H.ino which takes values of temperature and humidity from HDU21 device,with  SparkFun driver, and sends these values to Wemos II, the Listener. Listener's display on serial terminal looking a bit crude but works OK. https://pastebin.com/Fvw5NZbS is the Sender program that reads the HUD21 device and sends info. via espNow to Listener program on WemosII below.. C:\Users\Dell\Documents\Arduino\WorkingOctober22\SpudSensor94H\SpudSensor94H.ino https://pastebin.com/TGdvqSh5 is the Listener program C:\Users\Dell\Documents\Arduino\WorkingAugust22\SantosSensor7\SantosSensor7.ino (NB not ...Sensor6.ino above. Slight improvement. Next task is to tidy up listener code and include semaphore codes that help transfer file chunks from Sensor to Listener. Codes currently are 51 = normal file chunk being delivered from Sensor 59=last fule chunk-ette of extras. (<200 byte...

Real time LDR readings sent to receiver Wemos Mini

Image
 Sent LDR readings to wemos min about 500mm away via ESP Now. The sender uses https://pastebin.com/fKpkv94Y, Sender8 and the receiver uses https://pastebin.com/1xJhw3fa , receiver3with Blink Sender is in the foreground of photo below. Receiver is above metallic pig on window sill. Next put sender with LDR in box or container outside in various positions and check it can send LDR data OK. This would prove the basic outside reading of sensor values to PC inside.
