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:

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

Spud sensor update 3 August 2022

 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 bytes) 11 List

WEMOs mini going

 Having difficulty soldering NRF24L01 holes to header, very small gaps. So gave up on that for the time being and will concentrate for a while on ESP Now via three Wemos minis I bought recently from TradeMe. Did not install new Jason file etc by following  https://www.teachmemicro.com/getting-started-wemos-d1-mini/ who had different Jason file, but I's previously installed one while I was waiting for Wemos Mini's. Blink sketch went off according to plan and now I want to try out some ESP now functions. First, look at a few You Tubes and look for some functions I can call from ESP now library with just one mini . void setup() {   // initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output.   pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT); } // the loop function runs over and over again forever void loop() {   digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);   // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)   delay(100);                       // wait for a second   digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);    // turn the LED off by
