My Loops are out of sync.



  • Greetings,

    The following sketch is a variation of one where I simply allowed all eight child sensors to be read and serial printed. I am now working on parsing the data and I know I have loop issues but I am too close to see my own issues. What I would expect this to do is, upon requesting a transmission from a node, print the Node, command, and payload eight times but it only catches the first of eight sensor's worth of data. Would someone suggest a re-placement of my loops in order to realize this?

    Thank you to all - Baran

    Hi,

    I edited your post to show the code as it should 🙂

    Remove ' i = i+1;'.

    It is obsolete. You already do this with 'i++' where you define your loop...
