Hello all.
I want to make a home energy logging thingy. And want to connect my sainsmart tft display to it for debugging and adjusting my ir sensors.
But i can't find out how i can display on realtime my analogReads and send via esp8266 my data together.
I'm sending once in 15 or 20 second by delay. But then my display won't refresh any more. Any tips on how i could make it work?
Programming skills; still a lot to learn so example sketches are very helpfull.
Your first task is remove ALL instances of delay(). See the BlinkWithoutDelay example :-File>Examples>Digital>BlinkWithoutDelay.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Graham

That post should get you started. It also helps if you post your code.
You can optimize your performance by substituting any code that is known for blocking other code. (Im referring to for loops while loops and delay() ) with if statements that cycle through them one after the other.
If you have done this already and it is still slow, you may want to get a Arduino Due, (not Duemilanove).
Im curious as to what you have written already, would you kindly post your code.
I'm still working on my code. In different parts they work but have tot combine them together. Still figuring out the arduino world, and loving it..
Have to figure out a way to make my code simple and clean and logic.
Keep you posted
