ESP8266 ModuleThere's your answer

wolframore · March 28, 2019, 7:11pm

try:

void ISR(TIMER2_COMPA_vect)

I believe you are trying to make a function here...

Better answer: "Try compiling for the correct processor"

Actually I'll be using a Esp8266 to send data on cloud so that the reason why I chose Generic Esp8266 . and If Dont Choose Esp8266 Board it wont recognize my Header file .

So why are you trying to compile code written for an AVR?

(I can't see your code because I'm posting from my phone)

groundFungus · March 28, 2019, 7:20pm

Does the ESP8266 have a Timer2?

wolframore · March 28, 2019, 7:21pm

it has 2 just not "2"... well I was addressing the construct error...

anandraut · March 28, 2019, 7:23pm

Im using Using Mega to Process data and Esp8266 to send data on cloud .

anandraut · March 28, 2019, 7:40pm

If I include the Header file of ESP8266 which is include<ESP8266WFi.h> I get this Error if I choose esp8266 board

The code in your attachment to the first post contains nothing pertaining to an ESP8266 and indeed compiles for a Mega when a stray '.' is removed.

Please explain what you are trying to do with what hardware in what configuration?

anandraut · March 28, 2019, 8:05pm

attaching code which uses esp8266 to send data to thinkspeak cloud . I delete that code back then. Sorry and Should I make new string regarding my problem no this forum

Why have you started a new thread on the same topic?

Threads merged.

cattledog · March 28, 2019, 10:08pm

I think you are trying to implement an impossible architecture with one program for the two boards with two board specific IDE's and you will need to change your approach.

Use only the esp8266 programmed with the Arduino IDE and wifi libraries, and migrate the heart rate detection code to the esp8266.
Use only the Mega with the IDE, and use AT commands to control the esp8266. You will have to forgo the wifi library.
Independently program the MEGA and the ESP8266 with each boards version of the IDE and have the mega send the data to the esp over a serial link for transmission to Thingspeak.

If you go with cattledog's option 2, you might find this library useful:

It provides a standard Arduino Client/Server class interface for using a standard Arduino board like your Mega connected to an ESP8266 running the AT firmware.
