I’m very new at this and trying to build a function on a particle photon. I can’t seem to figure out how to resolve this error. Research has me thinking that it has to do with needing to pass a string to the function, but even when I add a string the “signal” variable still throws the error.
These are the errors:
../wiring/inc/spark_wiring_cloud.h:193:39: invalid conversion from 'int (*)(signal*)' to 'int (*)(String)' [-fpermissive]
../wiring/inc/spark_wiring_cloud.h:196:17: initializing argument 2 of 'static bool CloudClass::_function(const char*, int (*)(String))' [-fpermissive]
This is the code:
const int TX_PIN = 3; // Particle photon pin 3
typedef struct {
boolean power;
int duration; // micro seconds
} signal;
const signal SHORT_ON { true, 400 };
const signal SHORT_OFF { false, 500 };
const signal LONG_ON { true, 850 };
const signal LONG_OFF { false, 950 };
const int REST = 10000;
const char* host = "fancontrol";

for (int burst = 1; burst <= 6; burst++) {
