I'm new to arduino and currently trying to build a small program with multiple screens and buttons and a counter. when I try to convert a int to a chararray it messes up the world. with out it what I have so far works any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong? with the code to convert the int to chararray it seems to lock up the program when I switch from main screen to options screen then back. I put some serial outs to narrow down where the flaw is. my results are it is between
test1++; Serial.println("oops check");
str = String(test1); Serial.println("sanity check");

I put some serial outs to narrow down where the flaw is.
something hangs it up after it outputs "oops check" so I figureMy results are it is str = String(test1); I have been searching and trying every thing I can find. if someone can give me a kick in the right direction. I'm usin the tft seedstudio v2 display with the modified tft library for text direction.between
