Corrupt variable when using ESPNOW
Posted: Sat Jan 22, 2022 5:30 pm
Hi all, I'm creating a remote joystick using ESPNOW for the range benefits and I've come across a strange issue. The Xmap variable works fine when the ESPNOW code in the setup block is not there and then becomes -100 when its on. The Ymap variable still works fine? Both of the values send across to the reciever board without issue, albeit the Xmap is wrong. Can someone scan over this code and see if anything stands out as glaringly wrong? Its the section shown in the setup code that makes the ESPNOW code turn on or off and also seems to corrupt the Xmap variable.
Code: Select all
/////////////ESPNOW
#include <esp_now.h>
#include <WiFi.h>
uint8_t broadcastAddress1[] = {0x94, 0xB9, 0x7E, 0xD4, 0x50, 0xAC};//address of sender
typedef struct Send_Data_Format { //format of the information to be sent
int x;
int y;
} Send_Data_Format;
Send_Data_Format example;
void OnDataSent(const uint8_t *mac_addr, esp_now_send_status_t status) { //callback when data is sent
//char macStr[18];//Serial.print("Packet to: ");snprintf(macStr, sizeof(macStr), "%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x", mac_addr[0], mac_addr[1], mac_addr[2], mac_addr[3], mac_addr[4], mac_addr[5]);Serial.print(macStr);Serial.print(" send status:\t");Serial.println(status == ESP_NOW_SEND_SUCCESS ? "Delivery Success" : "Delivery Fail");
}
esp_now_peer_info_t peerInfo; //needed here instead of in setup due to bug
/////////////ESPNOW

return;
}
