Trying to get my menu systems updating the screen as new data arrives HELP

moondisco · April 25, 2021, 2:32pm

I'm working on building a menu system that allows me to view in real time my sensor output.
right now I only have the Data and Time that I'm focusing on right now. once I get the correct output on this menu item I can add it to the other items.

here is the current code, Menu_6 is for focus point right now:

This is dubious:

while (digitalRead(selectButtonState) == LOW) {
Menu_6();

If that read does return LOW you will probably crash your system with recursive calls to Menu_6. Also, selectButtonState doesn't hold the pin number you want I suspect.

blh64 · April 25, 2021, 4:53pm

It is also very odd that all your menu functions go to so much trouble writing to the display and then you immediately erase it

void Menu_5() {
  display.clearDisplay();
  ...
  display.display();
  display.clearDisplay();
}

You would be much better served with more of a state machine approach

You are also reading the Rx pin????

  Fault01 = digitalRead(0);

moondisco · April 25, 2021, 7:09pm

I’m using the Adafruit M0 Wifi board. I don’t think there is an RX pin on it. Just GPIO 9, 6, and 5 are used on the screen as buttons.

The main setup is Adafruit M0 WiFi, Feather Adalogger, and FeatherWing OLED - 128x64 OLED.

moondisco · April 25, 2021, 8:42pm

I never thought about doing class and state. Only been coding in C++ and Arduino for a little over a week.

blh64 · April 25, 2021, 11:21pm

Fair enough. It is good to start out small and concise when learning something new. If you do stick with it, you will find that the idea of a state machine or finite-state-machine will come up again and again in microcontroller projects so it is a good idea to learn and understand. Also, how to to many things at the same time several things at the same time
