Arduino Cache
I keep getting results from my Arduino code for Xplane that indicates commands are being held in cache then delivered after XP being paused. There are very few other causes than cache that we can figure. Anybody ever have that issue?
How to upload the code
Hey everyone ๐ Iโm trying to upload code from my phone using the ArduinoDroid app, but I keep getting this error:

so i have this hat and esp32 board and whenever i try the code for esp32 it wont upload due to the AFMotor library and was wondering how i can convert the code for other boards like for the esp32 or uno wifi r4

ESP32-c3 built in usb cdc loses bytes?
I have a project that uses an esp32-c3 supermini as its microcontroller board, and has a way to upload a text file to it. Because the file is usually small, I'm sending it one byte at a time, and expecting an echo of the same byte from the esp. However, sometimes the echo just gets lost, thus my upload script hangs as it relies on the echo for sending the next byte. (edit: it's not the echo that gets lost, but the byte sent by the python script)
I found an arduino forum post from 2023 (I think) with this same issue, but I have no idea if it's my code's or the esp's or maybe the arduino core's fault
For testing the issue, I'm using a 1 000 000 byte text file, but it also happens with smaller ones...

ATtiny85 hardware watchdog
Hi,
I have a Arduino MKR 1500 and a ATtiny85 that has to function as a watchdog for my arduino. There is a relais module attached to the Tiny. The tiny will send a HIGH signal to the relais when there is no heartbeat from the arduino. I tested with a voltmeter and the arduino sends 3.7V when its alive and 0.0V when its not connected to the cloud. However, the Tiny wont switch the relais when the arduino goes offline. I tested the tiny and relais with a simple sketch and that worked, so the hardware works. Anyone an idea why the Tiny doesnโt react on the signal from the arduino?

4x MPU6050 not working
I have a project to finish soon and im using acceleration sensors ( MPU6050 ), I know that one of these sensors has 2 addresses and im using 2 busses ( bus 0: SDA0 21, SCL0 22 and bus 1: SDA1 19 SCL1 18 ) and still somehow it doesnt work and I cant figure out how to fix the issue not even with AI.
I want them to all work at the same time....

DC Motor not Reversing Directions
I have followed multiple coding examples, and the motor is physically capable of rotating both directions; however, it seems that my code is not doing what I believe it says it should.

trouble with RD-03D sensor library
im having trouble with an library for the RD-03D sensor. From the example https://www.instructables.com/Radar-Based-Home-Security-System-Using-RD-03D-and-/ its supposed to run on an esp32-2432s028(CYD), but the library uses softwareserial. Even though its supposed to be editet to work with an esp32, which it does on the website, i still get the error:
documents\Arduino\libraries\SoftwareSerial\SoftwareSerial.cpp:41:10: fatal error: avr/interrupt.h: No such file or directory
41 | #include <avr/interrupt.h>
Im just using the example to get the radar to work for my own project so all the web stuff can be ignored.
I tried the full sketch from the site for the CLD, esp32-wroom32 and esp32c6 but it still didnt work....

Whats this thing?
So if I understand correctly when the code is in print(measureVal), it executes the void print loop and inside that loop float result is the same as measureVal, because of : print(measureVal);
But the thing I don't understand is what is the float readTemp(int pin) {... } Like it's not a loop, it looks like a variable. How can it not be inside a loop. And what the actual freaking donut does this thing do?
thanks...
