Hi @ all so I am working on this Project and I want to send values via a Client-Server communication from one to another NodeMCU.
It all works like a charm but since I analogRead values on the Client, it Would be great to have them as fast as possible on the Server-NodeMCU. Withe the Code below, I get like 2 Values in a Second but I want -so to say- a higher resolution of the different Values. For Example when my Values change gradientially from 1023 to 0 I dont want to receive on the Server-NodeMCU
more Something like:
And that in the same time of reading and sending the Values.
Is there any way to speed up the communication (in my Code)??
Thank you!

Code: Select all
Client No 0 - 1023
Client No 0 - 0
more Something like:
Code: Select all
Client No 0 - 1023
Client No 0 - 1000
Client No 0 - 990
.

Client No 0 - 0And that in the same time of reading and sending the Values.
Is there any way to speed up the communication (in my Code)??
Thank you!
