Error using Wire.h with Servo.h << SOLVED >>

void sendEvent() {
  String test ="ab12";
  
  if (Wire.available()) {
    Wire.beginTransmission(8);        // transmit to device #8 from #9
    Wire.write(test);                 **// causes error**
    Wire.endTransmission();           // stop transmitting
    outputString = "";
  }
}//end of sendEvent

I have tried both Wire.write and Wire.send both do not compile.
The error is
exit status 1
no matching function for call to 'TwoWire::write(String&)'

My IDE and AVR boards are up todate - using a Nano ATMega328P R3

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Don't use String.

void sendEvent() {
  const char[] test ="ab12";
  
  if (Wire.available()) {
    Wire.beginTransmission(8);        // transmit to device #8 from #9
    Wire.write(test, sizeof(test));                 **// causes error**
    Wire.endTransmission();           // stop transmitting
    //outputString = "";
  }
}//end of sendEvent

why do you only transmit anything if something is waiting to be read? [Wire.available()]

Thank you for the correction - I thought that you needed to check if the receiver was available when sending as well as when receiving - if this is not correct -
please advise me.

.available() indicates if bytes are available to be read, not if the receiver is ready or able to take bytes or anything else.

Look at the examples that come with the Wire library. (File->examples->Wire->....)
