Can someone check my code? Please :)



  • I am trying to put togheter a scenecontroller with LCD display, so far i have started with a sketch made by Gizmocuz over at the domoticz forum for the LCD display (standard 16x2 lcd).

    I did remove some code from the original LCD sketch (powermeter, water etc) and added another temperature sensor to be displayed on the LCD and added some code for my buttons.

    Im not a programmer so i dont realy know what every line of code do and i suspect that something is blocking my buttons. I use touch button modules, but i have to touch the module 10-20 times before it is sent to the controller. The modules works on my ESP so i dont think its a hardware problem.

    Can someone at least point me in the right direction?

    I would strip the complete sketch and leave only the button part in it. That way it's much easier to detect if there's any mistake. It's really hard to help you with a sketch if this size.

    You could try to give the debouncer a higher interval, e.g.:
    debouncer2.interval(25);

    If you happen to press and let go of the button while one of the wait is running, the press will not be detected. Maybe that's what is happening? Try commenting out the wait statements (at least the one at the end of the loop) and see if the node becomes more responsive.

    Thanks for the troubleshooting tip!

    @mfalkvidd After commenting out almost all of the LCD/temp functions i was left with the last wait that caused the problems, it seems to be working now but havent got the time to run it more than a few minutes.
