My 2 Lib won't work together

karlza01 · August 29, 2018, 9:27am

hello everyone im having some difficulty with some coding...
my project involes a arduino Uno that with soil sensors,water solenoids, RTC and a ESP8266.

I want to be able to set alarms to water the garden everyday at a given time, the soil senstors judges weather to water if the soil is dry. Than the ESP8266 collects this data to send to thingSpeak.

the two codes work fine by them selfs but when i combine them one Lib is not included because i get errors saying some codes of line are not declared from that Lib.

can anyone help please?

Arduino code attached.

Please post the exact error message.

Without getting into details, I'll wager the problem is with SoftwareSerial as it tends NOT to play well with other libraries. When you determine that this is in fact your problem, I'll give you a solution.

I suspect that you are just a troll.

WTF?

sory about the coding with the comment just got mad at it at one point.. i think I've figured it out though, ive got it compile but dont know if it will work. the promble was that i had a chuck of coding outside a set of brackets so i tried to put it in. It's the last bit of coding at the end.

You really need to get your code inside tags. Nobody (very few) are going to try and copy your code through multiple display windows simply to make life easier for you. Read the post at the top of the forum for guidance on getting your code in tags. Otherwise, good luck.

I hope you know that nothing in the function after the 'return' statement will be executed.
