TAM status example

[coelner]

I made an example. it is explicitly designed for a M5StickC. But the specific parts could easily exchanged.

Hi coelner, thanks for the contribution!

The problem with this PR is, that is only works on the M5StickC.h and thus the CI fails (see above). So this would have to be fixed before I can add it to the repo. In the past I've solved this with a code fragment like this:

#if defined(ESP8266)
    #include <ESP8266HTTPClient.h>;
#elif defined(ESP32)
    #include <HTTPClient.h>;
#else
      //INCOMPATIBLE!

I guess something similar needs to be done here, also defining alternatives for the M5.commands used in the code. However, I don't currently have time to do that and I do not own a M5StickC. Also, is a TAM = Telephone answering machine?

[coelner]

Yes, TAM is telephone answering machine.

Right, CI will not work. However, this MTStickC is a development platform and include a display, battery management and buttons and is build around an esp32. I will search for a solution, but it will make it mostly useless without the display and button.

[coelner]

Your snipped just selects the architecture, which in this case is esp32 too. As far as I know the problem is still open and not addressed: https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/issues/2438 I encapsulated the code in its own block. If you wish I can add a separate sketch for a bare esp module. But as I said, it makes less sense without a button and a display.

and travis-ci fails completely for the esp8266 platform.

[Aypac]

Thanks, your points are fair. I think there are also ways to turn off Travis for certain folders and/or tests within folders. Maybe this could serve as a work-around until it can be done properly.

[Aypac]

By adding an empty file called .test.skip, Travis will be disabled. I can also add it later myself.

[coelner]

It seems that it does not work. The complete job failes, even for the exisiting examples. Not only this new one.

@coelner i had the same problem. after changing the Arduino IDE Version in travis.yml File the Build succeeded ARDUINO_IDE_VERSION="1.8.13"

[coelner]

arduino/Arduino#40 travis fails because of this.

/home/travis/arduino_ide/libraries/Adafruit_Test_Library/src/tr064.cpp:398:15: error: call to 'HTTPClient::begin' declared with attribute error: obsolete API, use ::begin(WiFiClient, host, port, uri)

Ok. I will merge this into the 'new examples' branch. Then I'll debug all the new examples together with the new library version.
