#include <stdio.h>

Remember to include a terminating "\n" in your printf – stdout doesn't flush until it encounters one by default!!!!

	printf("Hello world!\n");

	printf("%i bytes read : %s\n", rx_length, rx_buffer);

	printf("data_h: %02x\n", sensor_data_h);

printf format codes

d or i – int, decimal (base ten) number

x or X – int, hexadecimal number.  Also "%02x" to specify length of digits

ld – long, decimal number ('l' can also be applied to any of the above to change the type from 'int' to 'long')

u – unsigned, decimal number

lu – unsigned long, decimal number

c – char, single character

s – char pointer, string

f – float, number with six digits of precision
g – float, number with up to six digits of precision
e – float, number with up to six digits of precision, scientific notation
lf – double, number with six digits of precision
lg – double, number with up to six digits of precision
le – double, number with up to six digits of precision, scientific notation

Display Buffer

//************************************
//************************************
//********** DISPLAY BUFFER **********
//************************************
//************************************ 
static void display_buffer (uint8_t* buffer, int len)
{
	int count;
	for (count = 0; count < len; count++)
	{
		printf("%02x ", buffer[i]);
		if (( count + 1 ) % 16 == 0)
		{
			printf("\n");
		}
	}
	printf("\n");
}

printf in a multi thread environment

Watch out for clashes causing bugs!  This can happen with irq's using printf, different threads using it, etc.

Using a semaphore to proect

This is one option to stop clahses, e.g.

#include "semphr.h"

//Create semphore
SemaphoreHandle_t print_semaphore = NULL;

	print_semaphore = xSemaphoreCreateMutex();
    
    
//Use sempahore
	xSemaphoreTake(print_semaphore, portMAX_DELAY);
	printf("Something");
	printf("Something");
	xSemaphoreGive(print_semaphore);
