I am trying to use this library to store data into the ESP32 flash memory. I am particularly using this example to write and read float values. I have just added a Serial.println("error") to this code as follows -
for (uint8_t i = 0; i < arrayLen(floatAddr); i++)
{
if (flash.writeFloat(0x00, testFloat[i]))
{
Serial.print(testFloat[i]);
Serial.print(" written to 0x");
Serial.println(floatAddr[i], HEX);
}
else
{
Serial.println("error");
}
_float = flash.readFloat(floatAddr[i]);
Serial.print(_float);
Serial.print(" read from 0x");
Serial.println(floatAddr[i], HEX);
}
If I run this code, the error statement is printed out.i.e.flash.write is not working. I just saw some instructions on the page that for ESP32, some modifications are required. *
"An alternate version SPIFlash flash (SPIPinsArray) of the constructor can be used (only with ESP32 board as of now) to enable the use of custom SPI pins. SPIPinsArray has to be a 4 element array containing the custom SPI pin numbers (as signed integers - int8_t) in the following order - sck, miso, mosi, ss. Also make sure to include flash.begin(CHIPSIZE*) in void setup(). This enables the library to detect the type of flash chip installed and load the right parameters. * Optional"
So I modified my code as follows -
#include<SPIMemory.h>
#if defined(ARDUINO_SAMD_ZERO) && defined(SERIAL_PORT_USBVIRTUAL)
// Required for Serial on Zero based boards
#define Serial SERIAL_PORT_USBVIRTUAL
#endif
#if defined (SIMBLEE)
#define BAUD_RATE 250000
#else
#define BAUD_RATE 115200
#endif
#define arrayLen(x) sizeof(x)/sizeof(x[0])
uint32_t strAddr[3], floatAddr[2], byteAddr[4];
String testStr[] = {
"Test String 0",
"Test String 1",
"Test String 2"
};
float testFloat[] = {
3.1415, 6.283
};
byte testByte[] = {
3, 245, 84, 100
};
int8_t SPIPinsArray[] = {18,21,19,5}; //sclk,miso,mosi,ss
//SPIFlash flash(SS1, &SPI1); //Use this constructor if using an SPI bus other than the default SPI. Only works with chips with more than one hardware SPI bus
//SPIFlash flash;
SPIFlash flash(int8_t *SPIPinsArray);
void getAddresses();
void writeData();
void setup() {
Serial.begin(BAUD_RATE);
#if defined (ARDUINO_ARCH_SAMD) || (__AVR_ATmega32U4__) || defined(ARCH_STM32)
while (!Serial) ; // Wait for Serial monitor to open
#endif
delay(50); //Time to terminal get connected
Serial.print(F("Initialising Flash memory"));
for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
{
Serial.print(F("."));
}
Serial.println();
flash.begin();
Serial.println();
Serial.println();
// getAddresses();
dataIO();
//flash.eraseChip(); // Uncomment this if you would like to erase chip
}
void loop()
{
}
// Function to write data
void dataIO()
{
uint8_t _byte;
float _float;
String _string;
for (uint8_t i = 0; i < arrayLen(floatAddr); i++)
{
if (flash.writeFloat(0x00, testFloat[i]))
{
Serial.print(testFloat[i]);
Serial.print(" written to 0x");
Serial.println(floatAddr[i], HEX);
}
else
{
Serial.println("error");
}
_float = flash.readFloat(floatAddr[i]);
Serial.print(_float);
Serial.print(" read from 0x");
Serial.println(floatAddr[i], HEX);
}
}
But I get the following error when I do this -
request for member 'begin' in 'flash', which is of non-class type 'SPIFlash(int8_t*) {aka SPIFlash(signed char*)}' flash.begin;
What does this error mean? I am not able to debug it. Can anyone help me in resolving this issue?
