How to get past (Twitter doesn't allow identical subsequent messages. )

Solved
21

am i into something here?

define BLYNK_PRINT Serial


#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <BlynkSimpleEsp8266.h>

long randomNumber;

// You should get Auth Token in the Blynk App.
// Go to the Project Settings (nut icon).
char auth[] = "MYCHAR";

// Your WiFi credentials.
// Set password to "" for open networks.
char ssid[] = "MYNET";
char pass[] = "MYPASS";

BlynkTimer timer;

void tweetUptime()
{
  long uptime = millis() / 60000L;
  Serial.println("Tweeting every 10 minutes ;)");

  // Actually send the message.
  // Note:
  //   We allow 1 tweet per 15 seconds for now.
  //   Twitter doesn't allow identical subsequent messages.
  Blynk.tweet(String("been up high for ") + uptime + " minutes.");
}

void TweetwhenHIGH()
{
  // Invert state, since button is "Active LOW"
  //int isButtonPressed = !digitalRead(2);
  //if (isButtonPressed) {
if (digitalRead(2) == HIGH)  {
    timer.setInterval(500L, TweetwhenHIGH);
    Serial.println("Button is pressed.");
    randomNumber = random(300);
    Blynk.tweet(String("Testing ") + randomNumber + " HIGH");
    Serial.println("Button is pressed.");
    Blynk.tweet(" Pin Went from Low to HIGH, doing tweet");
  }
}

void setup()
{
  // Debug console
  Serial.begin(9600);

  Blynk.begin(auth, ssid, pass);
  // You can also specify server:
  //Blynk.begin(auth, ssid, pass, "blynk-cloud.com", 8442);
  //Blynk.begin(auth, ssid, pass, IPAddress(192,168,1,100), 8442);

  // Tweet immediately on startup
  Blynk.tweet("My Arduino project is tweeting again");

  // Reading analogRead to create a random Number
  randomSeed(analogRead(0));
  // Setup a function to be called every 2 minutes
  timer.setInterval(2L * 60000L, tweetUptime);

  // Setup twitter button on pin 2
  pinMode(2, INPUT_PULLUP);
  // Attach pin 2 interrupt to our handler
  //attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(2), tweetOnButtonPress, CHANGE);
  timer.setInterval(500L, TweetwhenHIGH);
}

void loop()
{
  Blynk.run();
  timer.run();
}

Let me know when your code is forum formatted. P.S. looks ok but Iā€™m not going to try and read it with the format you have at the moment.

define BLYNK_PRINT Serial


#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <BlynkSimpleEsp8266.h>

long randomNumber;

// You should get Auth Token in the Blynk App.
// Go to the Project Settings (nut icon).
char auth[] = "MYCHAR";

// Your WiFi credentials.
// Set password to "" for open networks.
char ssid[] = "mynet";
char pass[] = "mypw";

BlynkTimer timer;

void tweetUptime()
{
  long uptime = millis() / 60000L;
  Serial.println("Tweeting every 10 minutes ;)");

  // Actually send the message.
  // Note:
  //   We allow 1 tweet per 15 seconds for now.
  //   Twitter doesn't allow identical subsequent messages.
  Blynk.tweet(String("been up high for ") + uptime + " minutes.");
}

void TweetwhenHIGH()
{
  // Invert state, since button is "Active LOW"
  //int isButtonPressed = !digitalRead(2);
  //if (isButtonPressed) {
if (digitalRead(2) == HIGH)  {
    timer.setInterval(500L, TweetwhenHIGH);
    Serial.println("PIN IS HIGH.");
    randomNumber = random(300);
    Blynk.tweet(String("Testing pin ") + randomNumber + " HIGH");
    Blynk.tweet(" Pin Went from Low to HIGH, doing tweet");
  }
}

void setup()
{
  // Debug console
  Serial.begin(9600);

  Blynk.begin(auth, ssid, pass);
  // You can also specify server:
  //Blynk.begin(auth, ssid, pass, "blynk-cloud.com", 8442);
  //Blynk.begin(auth, ssid, pass, IPAddress(192,168,1,100), 8442);

  // Tweet immediately on startup
  Blynk.tweet("My Arduino project is tweeting again");

  // Reading analogRead to create a random Number
  randomSeed(analogRead(0));
  // Setup a function to be called every 2 minutes
  timer.setInterval(2L * 60000L, tweetUptime);

  // Setup twitter button on pin 2
  pinMode(2, INPUT_PULLUP);
  // Attach pin 2 interrupt to our handler
  //attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(2), tweetOnButtonPress, CHANGE);
  timer.setInterval(500L, TweetwhenHIGH);
}

void loop()
{
  Blynk.run();
  timer.run();
}

here we go.

Since your first cod dump was unformattedā€¦ as REQUIRED in the Welcome Topicā€¦ I fixed it for youā€¦ Thank you for formatting the rest :slight_smile:

@Sondre_Wold remove timer.setInterval(500L, TweetwhenHIGH); from TweetwhenHIGH() function as you only need it in setup().

Change baud from 9600 to 115200, 9600 is for super slow Arduinoā€™s not super fast ESPā€™s.

Consider using a ā€œsafeā€ pin like 4 and 5 not an ESP ā€œspecialā€ pin like 2.
