Is Scheduling supported under Arduino?

I found some code on Rainmaker, but not as a part of Arduino Library. Is there a separate Schedule Library?


Are there any examples of calling the Scheduler?

Re: Device Create API(Device Icon Change)

How about this:

my_device.updateAndReportParam("Hours Exercising:", h1);

Note, if you are updating several parameters, you will need to DELAY between calling them, else things choke.
Be sure not to use delay(); , you want a non-blocking timer. I update 3 values and have 200ms between each call.

Re: Future nice-to-have list for ESP-RainMaker

How about in addition to: esp_rmaker_get_local_time_str( Timestring, 150);

Could you include: uint32_1 Seconds_since_1970 (esp_rmaker_get_local_time_epoch( );

It would help when timing events without having to decode the Timestring.

Re: Claiming Failed with error:

Thank you. Perhaps the Admin can also REMOVE unwanted Claims? I have 5 showing up but have only 3 working ESP32's. Is it reasonable to DELETE Claims that are tied to FAILED units thrown in the trash? I'm working on a Custom PCB of my design, and occasionally a test lead might flop onto 12VDC. The ES...

Claiming Failed with error:

This is new, and probably because I cannot REMOVE a device from the dashboard. I now have only ONE device active in my phone app, but this new message above is followed by "User does not have available quota. Please contact Administrator." I'm guessing I have one working and 4 failed attempts. SO my...

Re: Provisioning over WiFi without COM Port

I did conclude that after much looking at the order of events in Provisioning. To get around this, I now don't initialize WiFi until after the claiming process. You ask, why WiFi? Because I haven't been able to use Rainmaker's OTA service and can't afford to wait until Pedro or Piyoush get around to...

Re: Can I safely power a PICO-KIT through 3.3V?

You also have to be careful with sequencing the power. I've had a 3.3V display powered from its own regulator and connected same regulator to 3.3V of the LDO. You have to always disconnect your USB before powering down your 3.3V device, else that 1117 LDO tries to power everything which it isn't hap...

Re: I can't program my ESP32-WROOM-32D

How are you powering the ESP32? Presumably you have a regulator somewhere? Where do you derive 3.3V ?

Provisioning over WiFi without COM Port

First, I want to say you guys have done a tremendous job with Rainmaker, and I'm able to create a node and add parameters to my heart's desire. What is puzzling me is; how to provision an ESP32 with an existing WiFi connection. Indeed, if I disable WiFi, the ESP makes a new bar code just fine. I hav...

Re: Arduino example: XPT2046 touch and ILI9341 tft.

Since HSPI is used on most Dev Boards for EEPROM access, I should think you would want to stay off of that one with any other business. In the Arduino world, VSPI is the default channel the Compiler uses. SPI devices generally don't have a problem sharing channels unless one device (e.g. RA8875) doe...
