ProtoThreads Library

Using Arduino Programming Questions
1

Hello everyone, I am doing a project, and I am using the Protothreads library, however the printing on a 16X2 LCD for the I2C module has not worked for me, when I load it it does not work, however if I load it without the library from Protothreads if it works. I thank the person who can help me

I will attach the 2 codes that I use for the tests.

CODE WHIT ProtoThreads ---- void I2CLED ---- NOT WORKS

#define NUMPIXELES 60             // Numero de Pixeles

Code WHITOUT ProtoThreads Library ITS WORKS

#include <Wire.h>
#include <LiquidCrystal_I2C.h>

LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd(0x27,16,2);
int NA = 16;
int NB = 16;
int MQ9= 10;

String T1 =" BIENVENIDOS TUNEL UMNG ";
String T2 ="NIVEL DE CO: " ;
int Inicio, Final = 0;
int Posicion = NA;

void setup() {
 // put your setup code here, to run once:
   lcd.backlight();
   lcd.init();
   
}

void loop() {
 // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
 
 MQ9=analogRead(A1);

 
 lcd.setCursor(0,1);
 lcd.print(T2);
 lcd.print(MQ9);

 lcd.setCursor(Posicion,0);
 lcd.print(T1.substring(Inicio,Final));

 delay(200);
 lcd.clear();

 if (Inicio == 0 && Posicion > 0){
     Posicion--;
     Final++;
 }
 
 else if(Inicio == Final){
  Inicio = Final = 0;
  Posicion = NA; 
 }

 else if(Final == T1.length()&& Posicion == 0){
 Inicio++;  
 }

 else {
   
 Inicio++;
 Final++;  
   
 }

It would help if you could describe what "not works" means.

Hello
What do you expect by using the PT-lib?

4

I am using 8 infrared sensors to light various segments of a WS2812B strip, that part is already working. The objective with the PT is that it can execute another function in parallel, and don't get involved with each other. what I want now is that through I2C the LCD works, and that when I upload the code it does not print anything.

Hi

What I want with the PT is that I can do several functions independently, so that I don't have to depend on the times of each function to have synchrony.

I have no idea if because it is I2C, it can affect the function. :thinking::thinking:

For one thing, are you sure the condition in this statement is correct?

I would think it should be ((millis()-t) >= 200).
