I do not get any compiler error. This is the program that doesn’t work the way I want it to work.
The whole thing is quite long (more than the 9000 characters limit), but here you have it. I tried to structure it the way I could, but this is my first “real scale” project… hope you understand without too much troubles.
The issue occurs in the function menu_check(). What I want is:
(a) If the Serial.read() function gives a value to recData that is anything different of 1, 2 and 3, the menu displayed on the LCD screen goes to the next data display. (There are 3 different printing functions that are what I call the different “printing/data displays”).
(b) However, if the value of recData is 1, 2 or 3, then the menu should go to the corresponding data display.
But, what’s happening currently is that the menu goes to the next data display each time (case (a)) and doesn’t care about the lines
if((recData == 1) || (recData == 2) || (recData == 3)){
if(recData==menu){Serial.println("recData = 1 || =2 || =3\nrecData == menu --> return 1"); return 1;}
else {menu = recData; Serial.println("recData = 1||2||3\nrecData != menu --> return 0"); return 0;};
}
Here is the first half
