Wrapper function for Serial.printf()
Posted: Tue May 17, 2022 1:07 amI've successfully used Serial.prinft() for my debug output. For now, I've put the line between #ifdef DEBUG_MODE ... #endif preprocessor directives.
To make it more clear and less cluttered reading the code, I decided to write a simple wrapper function for Serial.printf(). This function looks like this:
The problem with this is, that the text (first argument of printf()) gets printed fine, but all the values/placeholders that where replaced/formatted before are now replaced with a arbitrary number.
Example:
Instead of something like this
I get this:
All I want is to pass the argument given to my own function directly to Serial.printf(), but there seems to be the problem. I've searched all over the Web, but can only find solutions that already look basically like what I'm a doing.
Any ideas?
