Formating serial command

Using Arduino Networking, Protocols, and Devices
1

I'm having a bit of a go around trying to format a serial command in the serial monitor to be sent to Command Handler.

The response from the sketch indicates: "I don't understand" in the serial monitor, so I am not formatting correctly.

!ListAll with both NL and CR on yields a good result

!SetOnTime 40 returns: "I don't understand"

Can anyone come up with a good command?

#include "CommandHandler.h" 
 
CommandHandler<> SerialCommandHandler;
 
long LastBlink = 0; // Time we last blinked the LED
int OnTime = 10; // Amount of time the LED remains on [milliseconds]
int OffTime = 100; // Amount of time the LED remains off [milliseconds]
 
const int LEDPin = 13; // Pin the LED is attached to 
 
void setup() 
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  Serial.println(F("Blink 2.0"));
  Serial.println(F("=========="));
 
  // Setup the serial commands we can repond to
  SerialCommandHandler.AddCommand(F("OnTime"), Cmd_SetOnTime);
  SerialCommandHandler.AddCommand(F("OffTime"), Cmd_SetOffTime);
  SerialCommandHandler.AddCommand(F("ListAll"), Cmd_ListAll);
  SerialCommandHandler.SetDefaultHandler(Cmd_Unknown);
 
  pinMode(LEDPin, OUTPUT);
}
 
void loop() 


{
  // Check for serial commands and dispatch them.
  SerialCommandHandler.Process();
 
  // Update the LED
  uint32_t uNow = millis();
  if (uNow - LastBlink < OnTime) 
  { 
    digitalWrite(LEDPin, HIGH); 
  }
  else 
  {
    digitalWrite(LEDPin, LOW); 
  }
 
  if (uNow - LastBlink > OnTime + OffTime)
  {
    LastBlink = uNow;
  }
}
 
void Cmd_ListAll(CommandParameter &Parameters)
{
  
  Serial.print(F("OnTime [ms]="));
  Serial.println(OnTime);
  Serial.print(F("OffTime [ms]="));
  Serial.println(OffTime);
}
 
void Cmd_SetOnTime(CommandParameter &Parameters)
{
  OnTime = Parameters.NextParameterAsInteger(OnTime);
}
 
void Cmd_SetOffTime(CommandParameter &Parameters)
{
  OffTime = Parameters.NextParameterAsInteger(OffTime);
}
 
void Cmd_Unknown()
{
  Serial.println(F("I don't understand"));
}

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 </> icon above the compose window) to make it easier to read and copy for examination

You don't have SetOnTime defined. The text in the " " is the command string.
SerialCommandHandler.AddCommand(F("OnTime"), Cmd_SetOnTime);
The second parameter is the routine to call. Try !OnTime as the command.

I believe I knew that but may have added the tag incorrectly. Sorry!
Is it right now?

I stared at their example (!SetOnTime 40\r\n) for so long that I believed it.

Thanks.
