Terminal Widget Question

FAQ
1

I am wondering.

  1. How long do you keep those 25 messages which we write on the TERMINAL WIDGET?
  2. Why 25?
  3. How long can each message be in characters/bytes?

Thank you in advance.

@Vlad_Hristov

good questions:

  1. Messages are kept until server restart. Usually, this happens once in 2 weeks. The terminal widget wasn’t designed to store/persist messages;
  2. I like this number :wink:;
  3. 32kb is a max for 1 messages;

Thank you for your answer!

Can I also FLUSH the buffer so any time I send a new message it will be just new.

BLYNK IS GREAT!!!

How we can flush the buffer?

http://docs.blynk.cc/#widgets-displays-terminal

terminal.flush(); // Ensure that data was sent out of device

NOTE, this is not the same a clearing the screen… the only way so far for that is lots of blank terminal prints :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

OK, I thought something that will clear the buffer and terminal… It is clear now, thanks!
