Welcome. Please read the pinned post re 'How to get the most from the forum'

Welcome to the forum
Please follow the advice given in the link below when posting code, in particular the section entitled 'Posting code and common code problems'
Use code tags (the < CODE/ > icon above the compose window) to make it easier to read and copy for examination
https://forum.arduino.cc/t/how-to-get-the-best-out-of-this-forum
Please post your full sketch, using code tags when you do
Posting your code using code tags prevents parts of it being interpreted as HTML coding and makes it easier to copy for examination
In my experience the easiest way to tidy up the code and add the code tags is as follows
Start by tidying up your code by using Tools/Auto Format in the IDE to make it easier to read. Then use Edit/Copy for Forum and paste what was copied in a new reply. Code tags will have been added to the code to make it easy to read in the forum thus making it easier to provide help.
It is also helpful to post error messages in code tags as it makes it easier to scroll through them and copy them for examination
