Problem with #define ESP8266

[dronecz]

Hi @washo4evr

I want to use your library but I can not get rid of this error:

#error "above your includes like so : #define ESP8266 ". I did find older library where I donť have to define this but I want use most up to date library.

Also, could by posible use client.send("list")? I can now use your library like this: client.send("list", "list", "list")

Here is my Arduino code:

new.txt

Many thanks for reply.

#ifndef W5100 || ENC28J60 || ESP8266
seems to be incorrect

#ifndef ESP8266
work for me.

This way the wifi library included, I checked it.

I suddenly realized that I've seen your messages in cnc.js project.

Do you do the same as me? The fat html sender / thin server (i.e. ESP8266)?
I just spent last week only to realize NodeMCU will not work for me due to its heap size. So I turned to search another solutions. It is still unclear will this fly or not, probably the html client will have to send the code into ESP in small portions. ChiliPeppr have a specific memory management for ESP8266 too. Anyway, I would like to talk with you / [email protected]

hi guys,
sorry for the late reply

you need to use "#define ESP8266;"
in your new.txt file, it didnt have a ';'

I mainly use the ESP8266 to collect data from sensors ans then transmit to the server
I have a UDOO quad board (faster than raspberry)
and the UDOO gives order to the ESP8266
everything is as short as possible

Hi @washo4evr

we sorted out with @minithc so it is working now, but I think would be good to make better info in wiki.
I want to also ask you if is your library still in development and uptodate with Socket.io API? I´m not programmer so I don´t know how to check it.

Many thanks

Hi,
I do consider the project open and alive. That being said, I have a lot on my plate right now, which is why neither the library not the wiki have been updated in a while.
I really need to get back to it as I see more and more people using my work.

In Arduino 1.6.9 didn't detect the define. Defines do not require ";"

Should use in the .h file:
#if defined(ESP8266)

Also, the ifndef replaced by:
`#if !defined(ESP8266)``

Is much cleared and seems to work.

OK. Did more checking. The problem is definitely in the "ifndef" check.

Hey
Thanks for your input
I have updated the library
