Using Flash Memory while also using Autoconnect

Postby Imstarboard » Sun Jan 03, 2021 2:38 pm

The tutorials I have found for storing and retrieving flash memory on the ESP32 only provide examples that presume you are not using flash for anything else.

I am using autoconnect (hieromon.github.io/AutoConnect)... can someone explain and provide links to sample code where I can learn to store and retrieve small amounts of data in flash without interfering with autoconnect?

Thanks in advance!

You probably want to use Preferences (which maps to NVS on the ESP-IDF side, which saves things to flash)

Sorry, not really - I don't use Arduino myself. You can put 'esp32 arduino preferences example' in your favorite search engine to get some useful examples.

Maybe you can have a look at this lib: https://github.com/rpolitex/ArduinoNvs

If you're using PlatformIO you can easily import to your project.
