Question: Data Types #9

Closed TuumIO closed 7 years ago

TuumIO commented 7 years ago

Hi, does this library work with all Data Types? I tried with "String" and "char" and didn't work.

Thanks

Any up date on this. I tried a string but only part of it is stored.

Using just String won't work because you need to know the storage size upfront (while the string can grow dynamically as you add to the string itself).

To store a string you must use the method string.toCharArray(....) to copy the string content into a char array. See: https://github.com/cmaglie/FlashStorage/blob/master/examples/StoreNameAndSurname/StoreNameAndSurname.ino for a complete example.
