Saving and writing to eeprom

Postby Duhjoker » Fri Feb 09, 2018 10:32 pm

hi guys

I'm trying to save a player structure for a game I'm building to eeprom so I can retrieve it later. the esp32/Arduino library is different from the Arduino library so I'm having some problems.

ive got the address part down I think but its giving me a problem with the value which should be the player structure. but when I put player as the value it gives me errors. Can someone please help me?

Code: Select all

void setup() {
  while (!Serial && (millis() < 4000)) ;
  Serial.begin(115200);
  tft.begin();
  tft.setRotation(3);
  tft.fillScreen(BLACK);
  //tft.setFrameRate(60);
  tft.persistence = false;
  ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
  ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
  if (!ss1.begin(0x49)) {
    Serial.println("ERROR!");
    while (1);
  }
  if (!ss2.begin(0x4a)) {
    Serial.println("ERROR!");
    while (1);
  }
  else {
    Serial.println("seesaw started");
    Serial.print("version: ");
    Serial.println(ss1.getVersion(), HEX);
  }
  /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

  ss1.pinModeBulk(button_mask, INPUT_PULLUP);

  if (!EEPROM.begin(EEPROM_SIZE))
  {
    Serial.println("failed to initialise EEPROM"); delay(1000000);
  }
  Serial.println(" bytes read from Flash . Values are:");
  for (int i = 0; i < EEPROM_SIZE; i++)
  {
    Serial.print(byte(EEPROM.read(i))); Serial.print(" ");
  }
  Serial.println();
  Serial.println("writing random n. in memory");

  tft.useFrameBuffer(use_fb);
}

struct Player
{
  int player_x;
  int player_y;
  int w;
  int h;
  int room;
  int player_direction;
  int player_directionRepeat;
};

Player player = { 160, 170, 16, 16, 3, 2, 0};

byte saveKey = 121;
int val = byte(random(10020));

void save()
{
  EEPROM.write(0, saveKey);
  Serial.print(val); Serial.print(" ");
  EEPROM.write(28, player);
   Serial.print(val); Serial.print(" ");
   Serial.print("saved");
}

EEPROM.write does 1 byte at a time only. Try EEPROM.put. Keep it in the Arduino forum please.

Sorry but I asked days ago and no one answered.

So like this.....

Code: Select all

byte saveKey = 121;

void save()
{
  EEPROM.put(0, saveKey);
  EEPROM.put(1, player);
  Serial.print("saved");
}

bool checkLoad()
{
  byte nr;
  EEPROM.get(0, nr);
  Serial.print("checkload");
  return (nr == saveKey);
}

void load()
{
    EEPROM.get(1, player);
    Serial.print("loaded");
}

ok so I reset my code back to using put get and checkload. Then I told the save and load to print the random number in the serial monitor and when loading. I saved the game then turned off.

when I turn the game back on it puts out a black screen that the player can move around the boarders too. But I have to actually move the player before he shows up. it should also put the player in the x and y save spot but it puts out in the same spot every time.

Re: Saving and writing to eeprom

Almost there..... I can save and load the game as long as the console is on. If I turn the console off and then repower it and try to load I get black screen.

What could cause the eeprom to lose its data after powering off. Heres my latest code....

Code: Select all

struct Player
{
  int player_x;
  int player_y;
  int w;
  int h;
  int room;
  int player_direction;
  int player_directionRepeat;
};

Player player = { 160, 170, 16, 16, 3, 2, 0};


void save()
{
  EEPROM.put(0, player);
  Serial.print("saved");
}

void load()
{
    EEPROM.get(0, player);
  Serial.println(player.player_x);
  Serial.println(player.player_y);
  Serial.println(player.w);
  Serial.println(player.h);
  Serial.println(player.room);
  Serial.println(player.player_direction);
  Serial.println(player.player_directionRepeat);
}

Are you calling EEPROM.commit() somewhere ?

Uhhh no. Should that be in save or load or both?

EDIT::::

adding commit to the save did the trick! Thank you!!!!

Now I'm having the same problem with slots....

  int cursor_direction;

CursorE cursore = { 142, 14, 1};

if I save with two items in slots and save, it disappears as well when the console is powered off and powered back on.

No offense intended, but It looks like you have fundamental misunderstanding of how the EEPROM library works. Are you able to understand the code in EEPROM.h and EEPROM.h?

Specifically, I see misuse of the ‘address’ argument to the get() and put() methods. Writing the player structure to address 0, then writing the slots to address 1, will cause the slots to overwrite the player data.
