Merging two arduino sketches - arduino

I have been working on a project. I have two sketches. One is to get GPS location and one is send location via SMS (GSM Module). I want to combine both sketches.
GPS sketch:
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
#include <TinyGPS.h>
//long lat,lon; // create variable for latitude and longitude object
float flat, flon;
SoftwareSerial gpsSerial(4, 3); // create gps sensor connection
TinyGPS gps; // create gps object
void setup(){
Serial.begin(9600); // connect serial
gpsSerial.begin(9600); // connect gps sensor
}
static void print_float(float val, float invalid, int len, int prec)
{
if (val == invalid)
{
while (len-- > 1)
Serial.print('*');
Serial.print(' ');
}
else
{
Serial.print(val, prec);
int vi = abs((int)val);
int flen = prec + (val < 0.0 ? 2 : 1); // . and -
flen += vi >= 1000 ? 4 : vi >= 100 ? 3 : vi >= 10 ? 2 : 1;
for (int i=flen; i<len; ++i)
Serial.print(' ');
}
// smartdelay(0);
}
void loop(){
while(gpsSerial.available()){ // check for gps data
if(gps.encode(gpsSerial.read())){ // encode gps data
// gps.get_position(&lat,&lon); // get latitude and longitude
gps.f_get_position(&flat, &flon);
String lat = String(flat,6);
String lon = String(flon,6);
Serial.print(lat);
Serial.print(' ');
Serial.println(lon);
}
}
}
GSM sketch:
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial mySerial(9, 10);
void setup()
{
mySerial.begin(9600); // Setting the baud rate of GSM Module
Serial.begin(9600); // Setting the baud rate of Serial Monitor (Arduino)
delay(100);
}
int index=0;
long dlat=0,dlong=0;
char st[256],st1[256],st2[256];
void RecieveMessage()
{
mySerial.println("AT+CNMI=2,2,0,0,0"); // AT Command to receive a live SMS
// mySerial.println("cheking");
// mySerial.println(string);
}
void loop()
{
if (Serial.available()>0)
RecieveMessage();
if (mySerial.available()>0)
{
//int st;
st[index++] = mySerial.read();
//Serial.write(st[index-1]);
if(index>=51&&index<=63){
st1[index-51]=st[index-1];
Serial.write(st1[index-51]);
}
if(index>=65&&index<=77){
st2[index-65]=st[index-1];
Serial.write(st2[index-65]);
}
/*if(index==77)
{
int i=0;
mySerial.print(st1);
for(i=0;i<13;i++)
{
if(st1[i]!='.')
dlat=dlat*10+(st1[i]-'0');
if(st2[i]!='.')
dlong=dlong*10+(st2[i]-'0');
//Serial.print(dlat);
}
//Serial.print(dlat);
//Serial.print(" ");
//Serial.print(dlong);
*/
}
}
I want to merge these two sketches so that I can send location via GSM sketch and receive location through GPS sketch.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

The following way you can merge your two sketches :
#include <AltSoftSerial.h>
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
#include <TinyGPS.h>
//long lat,lon; // create variable for latitude and longitude object
float flat, flon;
SoftwareSerial gpsSerial(4, 3); // create gps sensor connection
TinyGPS gps; // create gps object
static const int RXPin = 8, TXPin = 9;
AltSoftSerial mySerial(RXPin, TXPin);
int index=0;
long dlat=0,dlong=0;
char st[256],st1[256],st2[256];
void RecieveMessage()
{
mySerial.println("AT+CNMI=2,2,0,0,0"); // AT Command to receive a live SMS
// mySerial.println("cheking");
// mySerial.println(string);
}
void setup(){
Serial.begin(9600); // connect serial
gpsSerial.begin(9600); // connect gps sensor
mySerial.begin(9600); // Setting the baud rate of GSM Module
delay(100);
}
static void print_float(float val, float invalid, int len, int prec)
{
if (val == invalid)
{
while (len-- > 1)
Serial.print('*');
Serial.print(' ');
}
else
{
Serial.print(val, prec);
int vi = abs((int)val);
int flen = prec + (val < 0.0 ? 2 : 1); // . and -
flen += vi >= 1000 ? 4 : vi >= 100 ? 3 : vi >= 10 ? 2 : 1;
for (int i=flen; i<len; ++i)
Serial.print(' ');
}
// smartdelay(0);
}
void loop(){
while(gpsSerial.available()){ // check for gps data
if(gps.encode(gpsSerial.read())){ // encode gps data
// gps.get_position(&lat,&lon); // get latitude and longitude
gps.f_get_position(&flat, &flon);
String lat = String(flat,6);
String lon = String(flon,6);
Serial.print(lat);
Serial.print(' ');
Serial.println(lon);
if (Serial.available()>0)
RecieveMessage();
if (mySerial.available()>0)
{
//int st;
st[index++] = mySerial.read();
//Serial.write(st[index-1]);
if(index>=51&&index<=63){
st1[index-51]=st[index-1];
Serial.write(st1[index-51]);
}
if(index>=65&&index<=77){
st2[index-65]=st[index-1];
Serial.write(st2[index-65]);
}
/*if(index==77)
{
int i=0;
mySerial.print(st1);
for(i=0;i<13;i++)
{
if(st1[i]!='.')
dlat=dlat*10+(st1[i]-'0');
if(st2[i]!='.')
dlong=dlong*10+(st2[i]-'0');
//Serial.print(dlat);
}
//Serial.print(dlat);
//Serial.print(" ");
//Serial.print(dlong);
*/
}
}
}
}
P.S : I have changed the pins for GPS and rest part is same irrespective of adding AltSoftSerial it is a library same as SoftwareSerial (Download it from manage libraries and it requires pins 8 and 9)

How to control multiple SPI's

I am having a weeny trouble with my SAMD21 board. I have got this starter kit (schematics) and I want to add some more sensors. They use SPI, so I programmed them. Since SAMD21 got the code it lag's everytime, when code reache's the sensor begin function. Please give me some advice, how to control both SPI's correctly and avoid lags.

Can I temporarily disable Arduino Serial data receive?

I am working on a project and I encountered some problems.
I am using a DHT11 temperature sensor, an Arduino Uno and a TFT LCD display 2.2-inch model ITDB02-2.2.
What I want my project to do is to use 2 functioning modes for the sensor that I can select from the keyboard at the beginning of the program(one which is normal and one which will be used on special occasions)(so I need serial communication).
I noticed that the screen does not function if I start a serial communication at any rate so I used Arduino Serial.begin(9600) and Serial.end() for the mode selecting part of the program.
THE PROBLEM: My Arduino is still sending data through serial port even if I ended the serial communication and is looking like this:
I found out that Serial.end() function does not shut off serial communication but just the rate of communication. I am curious if you have any idea that I can use in order to get rid of the extra data, to neglect it before the computer receives it.
I`m stuck. I thought that interruptions would be a solution but they are not as far as I researched on the internet.
My ARDUINO CODE:
#include <SimpleDHT.h>

You are correct in the definition that Serial.end() does not disable the serial monitor, only the interrupts. After calling Serial.end() you can disable the serial monitor like so.
#include <avr/io.h>
// Save status register, disable interrupts
uint8_t oldSREG = SREG;
cli();
// Disable TX and RX
cbi(UCSRB, RXEN);
cbi(UCSRB, TXEN);
// Disable RX ISR
cbi(UCSRB, RXCIE);
// Flush the internal buffer
Serial.flush();
// Restore status register
SREG = oldSREG;

Here is a step-by-step to mix your GPS input device and your GSM output device.
Remainder for Arduino principles:
The void setup() function is performed one time after startup.
The void loop() function is performed periodically after the
setup().
Step1 - declaration of GPS device and Serial link
// GPS and Serial link
static const int RXPin = 4, TXPin = 3;//was 4 and 3;
static const uint32_t GPSBaud = 9600;
// The TinyGPS++ object
TinyGPSPlus DeviceGPS;
// The serial connection to the GPS device
SoftwareSerial SerialGPS(RXPin, TXPin);
Step2 - declaration of GSM/FONA device and Serial link
Including the SendTo SMS number !!!
#define FONA_RX 2//2
#define FONA_TX 3//3
#define FONA_RST 4//4
// The serial connection to the GSM device
SoftwareSerial SerialFONA = SoftwareSerial(FONA_TX, FONA_RX);
// The FONA/GSM Cellular Module device
Adafruit_FONA DeviceFONA = Adafruit_FONA(FONA_RST);
// The destination SMS number
static const char *sSendTo = "<NUMBER>";
Step3 - setup() function for (Console, GPS and GSM)
It is possible to add some extra Init.
// only execute once
void setup()
{
// Wait and Init Console
while (!Serial); // Serial over USB
Serial.begin(115200);
// Init GPS link
SerialGPS.begin(GPSBaud);
Serial.print(F("TinyGPSPlus ver: "));
Serial.println(TinyGPSPlus::libraryVersion());
// Init GSM link
SerialFONA.begin(4800);
if (! DeviceFONA.begin(SerialFONA)) {
Serial.println(F("Couldn't find FONA"));
while (1); // Stop working
}
// Add some extra Init
}
Step4 - loop() function to wait GPS location and send SMS
It is possible to use String() to create the SMS based on the
acquired DeviceGPS.location.lng() and DeviceGPS.location.lat().
// executed periodicaly
void loop()
{
// check until GPS message
while (SerialGPS.available() > 0) {
// get for a complete GPS message
DeviceGPS.encode(SerialGPS.read());
}
// flush GSM serial link
while (SerialFONA.available() > 0) {
if (DeviceFONA.available()) {
DeviceFONA.flush();
}
}
// send an SMS!
char sendto[21], message[141];
// Wait for location (lng, lat, alt) is OK
if (DeviceGPS.location.isValid()) {
// ==> create SMS with longitude & latitude
}
}

SoftwareSerial.h not found on Sodaq Arduino

I have an arduino sodaq with a MIcrochip LoRabee attached, as well as a GPS module. I am trying to use SoftwareSerial to read the GPS data but it won't recognise it!
The sketch was previously working on a Chinese cloned Nano and I was able to read the data fine. I've changed the ports to 4 and 5 (I was using 3 and 4 on the Chinese Nano) but other than that the code is identical.
Any ideas?

Sodaq wrote their own softwareserial library. If you install that library, it should resolve your issues:
You can find it here.
But it doesn't work. I tried it.
But u can use this.
Hardware Serials
The SODAQ ONE has 3 hardware serials:
SerialUSB – This is for when you are debugging over the USB Cable.
Serial – Serial is attached to pin D12/A12/TX and D13/A12/RX.
Serial1 – Is connected to the RN2483 LoRaWAN Module.
Serial is connected to pin 12 and 13
SerialUSB is for debugging over the usb cable
Instead of SoftwareSerial ss(RXPin, TXPin); you could add:
#define ss Serial
All your code with Serial must be SerialUSB
And then something else. Are u still using a gps module or is this a gns? If so you can try neogps. Here is an example for the sodaq explorer.
https://github.com/Kaasfabriek/Junior_Internet_of_Things_2018/blob/master/test_NMEAloc/test_NMEAloc.ino
For the sodaq explorer u might need a hack if u will use neogps like this.
https://github.com/Kaasfabriek/Junior_Internet_of_Things_2018/tree/master/hack
Neogps can be found here. I see u are using tinygps, if u have a gps that talks gps dialect that will work. If u have a gns it won't.

RFID (SoftwareSerial) influences/breaks connection with SD (SPI)

I'm creating a RFID logger with Arduino. I connected a RFID scanner, RTC module and a SD card reader. All parts are working fine together but when i started combining different sketches a problem occured.
Reading files and writing to files on the SD card is no problem as long as i don't scan a RFID card. When input is received from the RFID scanner it is no longer possible to read or write to the sd card. The connection seems to be "disconnected" as soon as RFID input is received.
I tried using different pins for the RFID scanner, another sequence of initializing in the setup but it doesn't make a difference.
Is this a limitation of the Arduino or am I doing something wrong?
I'm using a ATS125KRW RFID shield and a Catalex MicroSD card adpater in combination with a Arduino Mega.

I think you are running out of RAM ,i have done a lot of data logging on SD card with Arduino and its a very resources taking job for the minial 2kb ram on the UNO (assuming u using UNO).
Try using MemoryFree() library before every place you see there might be problem to see if you are running outta memory?
