Need help with my project - Remote IR temperature sensor with MLX-90614 & LCD 2.4" & IR proximity sensor

Dears
I need help with my code ,as i’m designing an IR temperature detection with MLX-90614 with Arduino MEGA and 2.4 “TFT LCD (mcufriend) and IR proximity sensor .
My code sequence (what i hope) is as following :
1- The 2.4” LCD is displaying BMP files from SD card .
2-when the face come near to the box (as attached pic) its been detected by the IR proximity sensor ,and i want the MLX-90614 to detect the temp. and print it instantly (cut the BMP photo drawing sequence).
3- after printing the temp , the LCD resume displaying BMP images again from SD card.

My problem is i can’t use the I2C protocol of MLX-90614 & the 2.4" LCD inside the ISR (because the use interrupt) , and what i’m getting now that after any face detection by the IR proximity sensor ,the MLX-90614 detect the temp but it doesn’t print it until the LCD finish the current BMP drawing !!

I need help in the code so that at face detection by proximity sensor the MLX-90614 read the temp and print it instantly(cut BMP drawing sequance).

No pic attached.

There’s no mention of a Blynk anywhere in this post, and this is the Blynk community forum after all :crazy_face:
I know we can be a friendly and helpful bunch (sometimes at least) but there is a general expectation that there is some tentative link to Blynk somewhere in your project.

Having this in your void loop isn’t going to help your system responsiveness. You should adopt the Blynk good practice approach of keeping your void loop clean and using a timer to call functions every 3 seconds rather than having a 3 second delay in your void loop.

I think I’d also adopt the use of a flag, or possible multiple flags, to control the code execution depending on the condition of those flags.
If you’re in ‘standby’ mode then set a ‘mode’ flag to ‘standby’ and check that flag status and run your BMP drawing routine.
When the mode changes to ‘detected’ then set your flag accordingly so that when the BMP is called with the timer then it doesn’t execute.
If the routine takes a long time to execute, as opposed to the issue being caused by the delay, then check the status of your mode flag at various points through the routine and break the routine if it’s no longer ‘standby’.

You could take a similar approach with your interrupt, or simply poll the GPIO that has the PIR attached with a timer, maybe set to something like 100ms.
