  • Thought I had figured out the looping problem before but it turns out I was skipping over some important steps.
  • Added the steps that were missing.  Most have to do with the DataDictionary.
  • The Arduino keeps choking.  I assume this is because of runtime errors
  • Started debugging line by line using a continuous send to light an led to tell me if the arduino hit an error. If it does the light turns off.
  • The arduino seems to be very picky about initializing variables before assigning them.  Things like DataElement* ptr = getItem(name); seem to cause errors
  • I was able to fix a lot of the runtime errors but am still having a problem with importData.  The line that seems to have the problem is where it gets the name from the DataElement.
  • I took out the size bytes in the send receive to make sure this wasn’t causing problems.  It is now set to send or receive the full 256 byte buffer.
