Cloud function getting stopped Parse.com in loop when calling from Arduino-yun

Question

I have created a cloud function using the Parse.com Javascript SDK and I am calling those functions from Arduino. Following is code for the hello function:

Parse.Cloud.define("hello", function(request, response) {
                response.success("This is hello function");         
}); //hello function Block

I am calling this function from the Arduino side using the following code:

void setup() {
  Bridge.begin();
  Serial.begin(9600);

  while (!Serial);

  Parse.begin("***zE0uUjQkMa7nj5D5BALvzegzfyVNSG22BD***", "***Ssggp5JgMFmSHfloewW5oixlM5ibt9LBSE***");
  //commented my keys with * here only

  // In this example, we associate this device with a pre-generated installation
  Parse.getInstallationId();
  Parse.startPushService();
}


void loop() {
  Serial.println("Start loop");
  demoBasic("meeting", 0);
}

void demoBasic(String functionname, int light) {
  char fnname[11];
  functionname.toCharArray(fnname, 11);

  Serial.print("In ");
  Serial.print(functionname);
  Serial.println(" Function");


  ParseCloudFunction cloudFunction;
  cloudFunction.setFunctionName(fnname);
  cloudFunction.add("light_sensor", light);
  cloudFunction.add("value", "Arduino Hello");//parameters

  ParseResponse response = cloudFunction.send();
  Serial.println(response.getJSONBody());
}

Problem is that I am getting response 8 times only. After that whole program flow gets blocked. What is the problem?

Answer 1

Give this a shot, I really hate String, maybe that 8-times thing has to do with memory issues caused by it.

void loop() {

  char functionToCall[8] = "meeting";
  Serial.println("Start loop");
  demoBasicCharArray(functionToCall, 0);
}


void demoBasicCharArray(char *functionname, int light) {

  Serial.print("In ");
  for (byte i=0;i<sizeof(functionname);i++){
    Serial.print(functionname[i]);
  }
  Serial.println(" Function");

  ParseCloudFunction cloudFunction;
  cloudFunction.setFunctionName(functionname);
  cloudFunction.add("light_sensor", light);
  cloudFunction.add("value", "Arduino Hello");//parameters

  ParseResponse response = cloudFunction.send();
  Serial.println(response.getJSONBody());
}
