I am new to programming and I am trying to combine two sets of code (heltec LoRa esp32 OLED sender example, and an Adafruit ADS1115 amplifier comparator example. I have a geo-phone connected to a Gikfun 20A Range Current Sensor, which is connected to the ADS115, and that finally connects to the Heltec ESP32 LoRa OLED (I know its alot). Separately these codes work just fine. If I only upload the comparator project, the serial monitor reads the stimuli correctly. When I only upload the sender example the LoRa board properly communicates with my other heltec LoRa esp32 OLED receiver setup. But when I try to combine the two the program crashes. I am trying to have the LoRa module send a packet only if the geo-phone detects vibration. Here are is the code below. I'm thinking that when It does get a reading to trigger the if statement it trips ups the program and causing it to crash. I'm looking for any tips in case this is the actual issue or if any of you guys can help me identify the real problem, I'm still very new to programming. Any suggestions? code below,
