### User
are you good at coding

### Assistant
As a large language model, I have been trained on a massive amount of code from various programming languages. This gives me a strong foundation in understanding, generating, and reasoning about code.

Here is what I am generally **good** at regarding coding:

*   **Generating Code Snippets:** I can write functional code examples for many common tasks in languages like Python, JavaScript, C++, Java, etc.
*   **Explaining Code:** If you provide me with a piece of code, I can explain step-by-step what it does, how different parts interact, and what the underlying logic is.
*   **Debugging:** I can often spot syntax errors, logical flaws, or potential bugs in code you provide and suggest corrections.
*   **Translating Code:** I can translate logic from one programming language to another (e.g., converting a Python function to JavaScript).
*   **Understanding Concepts:** I have knowledge of algorithms, data structures, design patterns, and best practices associated with various languages.

However, it is very important to understand my **limitations**:

1.  **Context Window Limits:** For extremely large or complex systems, I might lose track of details or introduce subtle errors because the entire context needs to fit within my processing window.
2.  **Testing and Execution:** I *generate* code; I do not *run* it in a live environment. Therefore, while my code is usually correct, you must always test it thoroughly yourself to ensure it meets all real-world requirements.
3.  **Novel Architectures:** For highly specialized, bleeding-edge, or proprietary systems that require deep domain knowledge beyond general public data, I might struggle compared to an experienced human engineer.

**In summary:** I am a very powerful coding assistant—excellent for learning, prototyping, boilerplate generation, and debugging—but I should be treated as a knowledgeable pair programmer rather than a guaranteed replacement for professional testing and review.

**How can I help you code right now? Feel free to give me a problem!**

### User
great! im going to send you some example code that detects when it is being tapped, can you change it so that when it detects movement, it prints "movement detects"

### Assistant
Please provide the example code you are referring to! I need to see the original code that detects taps before I can modify it to detect movement instead.

Once you paste the code, I will analyze its structure and adapt the logic to monitor for changes in position or velocity (which is what "movement detection" usually implies in this context).

}

### Assistant
This is a classic example of using hardware interrupts for specific events (like "single tap"). To switch this to general **movement detection**, we need to fundamentally change the approach:

1.  **Remove Interrupt Dependency:** We will stop relying on `INT1` and the interrupt service routine (`int1_isr`).
2.  **Continuous Sampling:** Instead, we will continuously read the raw acceleration data ($\text{X}, \text{Y}, \text{Z}$) in the main `loop()` function.
3.  **Threshold Logic:** We need to define what "movement" means. A common way is to check if the *magnitude* of the acceleration vector has changed significantly from a baseline (like when stationary).

Since you are using an ADXL343, we will read the raw data and calculate the total acceleration magnitude ($\sqrt{X^2 + Y^2 + Z^2}$). If this value exceeds a certain threshold for a sustained period, we'll consider it movement.

Here is the modified code:

### Modified Code for Movement Detection

```cpp
#include &lt;Wire.h&gt;
#include &lt;Adafruit_Sensor.h&gt;
#include &lt;Adafruit_ADXL343.h&gt;

/* Assign a unique ID to this sensor at the same time */
Adafruit_ADXL343 accel = Adafruit_ADXL343(12345);

// --- Movement Detection Variables ---
// Threshold: How much acceleration (in G's) must change before we consider it movement?
// You will need to tune this value based on your setup and what counts as "movement".
const float MOVEMENT_THRESHOLD = 0.8; // Example: Detect movement if magnitude exceeds 0.8G

// Tracking variables for the previous reading
float last_accel_x = 0.0;
float last_accel_y = 0.0;
float last_accel_z = 0.0;

// A simple state machine to prevent spamming "movement detected" on every single loop cycle
bool movement_detected_flag = false;


void setup(void)
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  while (!Serial);
  Serial.println("ADXL343 Movement Detector Initializing..."); Serial.println("");

  /* Initialise the sensor */
  if(!accel.begin())
  {
    Serial.println("Ooops, no ADXL343 detected ... Check your wiring!");
    while(1);
  }

  /* Set the range to whatever is appropriate for your project */
  accel.setRange(ADXL343_RANGE_16_G);

  // --- IMPORTANT CHANGE: We are no longer using interrupts for this function ---
  // The interrupt setup code is removed/commented out because we are polling in loop().
  /* 
  pinMode(INPUT_PIN_INT1, INPUT);
  attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(INPUT_PIN_INT1), int1_isr, RISING);
  g_int_config_enabled.bits.single_tap = true;
  accel.enableInterrupts(g_int_config_enabled);
  g_int_config_map.bits.single_tap = ADXL343_INT1;
  accel.mapInterrupts(g_int_config_map);
  */

  Serial.println("ADXL343 initialized. Ready to detect movement.");
}


void loop(void)
{
  // 1. Read the current sensor data
  sensors_event_t event;
  accel.getEvent(&event);

  float current_x = event.acceleration.x;
  float current_y = event.acceleration.y;
  float current_z = event.acceleration.z;

  // 2. Calculate the magnitude of acceleration (Total force vector)
  // Magnitude = sqrt(X^2 + Y^2 + Z^2)
  float current_magnitude = sqrt(current_x * current_x + current_y * current_y + current_z * current_z);

  // 3. Calculate the change in magnitude since the last reading (Movement proxy)
  // We compare the current total force to the previous total force.
  float last_magnitude = sqrt(last_accel_x * last_accel_x + last_accel_y * last_accel_y + last_accel_z * last_accel_z);
  
  // The difference between current and previous magnitude is a good indicator of change.
  float delta_magnitude = abs(current_magnitude - last_magnitude);


  // 4. Detection Logic
  if (delta_magnitude &gt; MOVEMENT_THRESHOLD) {
    if (!movement_detected_flag) {
      Serial.println("=============================");
      Serial.print("MOVEMENT DETECTED! Delta Magnitude: ");
      Serial.println(delta_magnitude);
      Serial.println("=============================");
      movement_detected_flag = true; // Set flag to prevent spamming
    }
  } else {
    // If the change is small, reset the flag so we can detect movement again later
    if (movement_detected_flag) {
        Serial.println("Movement subsided.");
    }
    movement_detected_flag = false;
  }

  // 5. Update state for the next loop iteration
  last_accel_x = current_x;
  last_accel_y = current_y;
  last_accel_z = current_z;

  // Small delay to keep readings stable and prevent overwhelming serial output
  delay(50); 
}
```

### Key Changes and How It Works:

1.  **Removed Interrupts:** All code related to `int1_isr`, `attachInterrupt`, and the interrupt configuration (`g_int_config_*`) has been removed because we are now polling data in `loop()`.
2.  **State Tracking:** I added variables (`last_accel_x`, etc.) to remember what the acceleration was during the *previous* loop cycle.
3.  **Magnitude Calculation:** We calculate the **magnitude** ($\sqrt{X^2 + Y^2 + Z^2}$) for both the current reading and the last reading. This gives us a single number representing the total force being exerted on the sensor, regardless of which axis it's pulling on.
4.  **Movement Logic:** The core detection is based on `delta_magnitude = abs(current_magnitude - last_magnitude)`. If this difference exceeds your defined `MOVEMENT_THRESHOLD`, we assume movement has occurred.
5.  **Debouncing/Flagging:** I added a simple `movement_detected_flag` to ensure that if the object moves quickly, it doesn't print "MOVEMENT DETECTED" hundreds of times in one second. It prints once when the threshold is crossed and resets when the movement stops.

### ⚠️ **Crucial Next Step: Tuning the Threshold**

The line `const float MOVEMENT_THRESHOLD = 0.8;` is the most important part you need to adjust.

*   **If it triggers constantly:** Your threshold is too low. Increase this number (e.g., to `1.5`).
*   **If it never triggers when you move it:** Your threshold is too high. Decrease this number (e.g., to `0.3`).

You must test this code and adjust that constant until the printed output reliably matches what you consider "movement."

### User
how do i test this

### Assistant
Testing embedded code like this requires a systematic approach, moving from basic functionality checks to complex scenario testing. Since this involves hardware (ESP32-C3) and sensors (ADXL343), the process has three main phases: **Setup**, **Basic Functionality Test**, and **Scenario Testing**.

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to test the movement detection code.

---

### Phase 1: Setup & Prerequisites

Before you upload any code, ensure your environment is ready:

1.  **Hardware Connection:** Double-check that your ADXL343 is correctly wired to the ESP32-C3 Xiao via I2C (SDA/SCL).
2.  **Libraries:** Ensure all required libraries (`Wire`, `Adafruit_Sensor`, `Adafruit_ADXL343`) are installed in your Arduino IDE or VS Code environment.
3.  **Serial Monitor:** Open the Serial Monitor in your IDE and set the baud rate to **9600**.

### Phase 2: Basic Functionality Test (The "Smoke Test")

The goal here is to confirm that the sensor reads data correctly *before* worrying about movement logic.

1.  **Upload the Code:** Upload the modified code to your ESP32-C3 Xiao.
2.  **Observe Startup:** Watch the Serial Monitor output. You should see:
    ```
    ADXL343 Movement Detector Initializing...
    =============================
    ADXL343 initialized. Ready to detect movement.
    ```
3.  **Check for Constant Output (Initial State):** When you first run it, the code will print nothing related to movement because the initial change from "zero" is small. This is normal.

### Phase 3: Scenario Testing (The Core Test)

This phase involves physically interacting with the sensor while watching the Serial Monitor closely. **Remember that tuning the `MOVEMENT_THRESHOLD` constant is part of this testing process.**

#### Test Case 1: Stationary Baseline Check
*   **Action:** Place the entire setup on a stable, flat surface (like a desk). Do not touch it for 30 seconds.
*   **Expected Result:** The Serial Monitor should print **nothing** related to movement detection after the initial startup messages. This confirms that when acceleration is constant (gravity only), the code correctly identifies no significant change.

#### Test Case 2: Small, Controlled Movement (The "Wiggle")
*   **Action:** Gently wiggle or shake the sensor slightly—just enough that you can feel it move, but not violently.
*   **Expected Result:** The monitor should print a **"MOVEMENT DETECTED!"** message, and then shortly after, it should print **"Movement subsided."** This confirms the system is sensitive enough to detect minor changes.

#### Test Case 3: Large, Quick Movement (The "Thump")
*   **Action:** Pick up the sensor and move it quickly across a short distance, or tap it firmly once.
*   **Expected Result:** The monitor should print **"MOVEMENT DETECTED!"** immediately upon impact/movement, confirming that large changes are detected robustly.

#### Test Case 4: Slow Movement (The "Glide")
*   **Action:** Slowly slide the sensor across a table surface over several seconds.
*   **Expected Result:** This is where tuning matters most.
    *   If you see **no output**, your `MOVEMENT_THRESHOLD` is too high, or the change in acceleration magnitude while gliding isn't large enough compared to gravity/noise.
    *   If you see **constant spamming**, your threshold might be too low, or the sensor noise is causing false positives.

### 🛠️ Troubleshooting Guide (What if it fails?)

| Symptom | Likely Cause | Solution |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Nothing prints at all.** | Wiring issue, or `MOVEMENT_THRESHOLD` is too high. | Check I2C connections. Try setting `MOVEMENT_THRESHOLD` to a very low value (e.g., `0.1`) temporarily just to see *any* output. |
| **It constantly prints "MOVEMENT DETECTED!" even when still.** | The threshold is too low, or the sensor has high electrical noise. | Increase `MOVEMENT_THRESHOLD`. Try adding a small delay (`delay(50);` in the loop) if you suspect rapid reading jitter. |
| **It only detects movement on one axis (e.g., only when I tilt it forward).** | The calculation is flawed, or the sensor is biased. | Ensure your `MOVEMENT_THRESHOLD` accounts for gravity. If you are *only* interested in changes *relative to gravity*, you might need a more complex algorithm that subtracts the expected $1G$ vector first. |

By following these steps and paying close attention to what the Serial Monitor says versus what you physically do, you will successfully tune this code for your specific application!

### User
it worked. thank you

### Assistant
That is fantastic news! I'm very glad we could get it working for you.

If you have any other coding challenges—whether it involves optimizing performance, adding more features (like logging data to an SD card, or sending alerts over Wi-Fi), or tackling a completely different project—please don't hesitate to ask.

Happy building!

### User
can you please combine it with this code so that when movement is detected it sense the words "movement detected" and when it stay still it sends "movement subsided?

### Assistant
This is a great refinement! You are essentially asking to replace the `Serial.println()` statements inside the detection logic with specific, formatted strings that you want to be consistent.

Since the movement detection logic already uses flags (`movement_detected_flag`) and checks for changes in magnitude, we just need to update the print statements within the `loop()` function to use your desired phrasing.

Here is the combined and updated code:

```cpp
#include &lt;Wire.h&gt;
#include &lt;Adafruit_Sensor.h&gt;
#include &lt;Adafruit_ADXL343.h&gt;

/* Assign a unique ID to this sensor at the same time */
Adafruit_ADXL343 accel = Adafruit_ADXL343(12345);

// --- Movement Detection Variables ---
// Threshold: How much acceleration (in G's) must change before we consider it movement?
// *** YOU MAY NEED TO TUNE THIS VALUE AGAIN AFTER COMBINING CODE ***
const float MOVEMENT_THRESHOLD = 0.8; 

// Tracking variables for the previous reading
float last_accel_x = 0.0;
float last_accel_y = 0.0;
float last_accel_z = 0.0;

// State flag to prevent spamming messages
bool movement_detected_flag = false;


void setup(void)
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  while (!Serial);
  Serial.println("ADXL343 Movement Detector Initializing..."); Serial.println("");

  /* Initialise the sensor */
  if(!accel.begin())
  {
    Serial.println("Ooops, no ADXL343 detected ... Check your wiring!");
    while(1);
  }

  /* Set the range to whatever is appropriate for your project */
  accel.setRange(ADXL343_RANGE_16_G);

  // --- Interrupt setup removed as we are polling in loop() ---

  Serial.println("ADXL343 initialized. Ready to detect movement.");
}


void loop(void)
{
  // 1. Read the current sensor data
  sensors_event_t event;
  accel.getEvent(&event);

  float current_x = event.acceleration.x;
  float current_y = event.acceleration.y;
  float current_z = event.acceleration.z;

  // 2. Calculate the magnitude of acceleration (Total force vector)
  float current_magnitude = sqrt(current_x * current_x + current_y * current_y + current_z * current_z);

  // 3. Calculate the change in magnitude since the last reading
  float last_magnitude = sqrt(last_accel_x * last_accel_x + last_accel_y * last_accel_y + last_accel_z * last_accel_z);
  
  // The difference between current and previous magnitude is our movement proxy.
  float delta_magnitude = abs(current_magnitude - last_magnitude);


  // 4. Detection Logic (Updated Messaging)
  if (delta_magnitude &gt; MOVEMENT_THRESHOLD) {
    if (!movement_detected_flag) {
      // *** NEW MESSAGE FOR DETECTION ***
      Serial.println("Movement detected"); 
      movement_detected_flag = true; // Set flag to prevent spamming
    }
  } else {
    if (movement_detected_flag) {
        // *** NEW MESSAGE FOR SUBSIDING MOVEMENT ***
        Serial.println("Movement subsided");
    }
    movement_detected_flag = false;
  }

  // 5. Update state for the next loop iteration
  last_accel_x = current_x;
  last_accel_y = current_y;
  last_accel_z = current_z;

  // Small delay to keep readings stable and prevent overwhelming serial output
  delay(50); 
}
```

### Summary of Changes:

1.  **Replaced Print Statements:** I located the two places where messages were printed based on the flag state (`if (!movement_detected_flag)` block, and the `else` block).
2.  **Updated Text:**
    *   The "Movement Detected" message now prints exactly: `"Movement detected"`
    *   The "Movement Subsided" message now prints exactly: `"Movement subsided"`

This code should give you the precise textual feedback you requested while maintaining the robust movement detection logic we established! Let me know if there's anything else you want to refine or add!

### Assistant
This is a significant jump in complexity! You've moved from simple serial output to **ESP-NOW wireless communication**, which requires careful handling of data structures and timing.

The goal now is:
1.  If movement is detected $\rightarrow$ Send `"Movement detected"` via ESP-NOW.
2.  If stationary $\rightarrow$ Send `"Movement subsided"` via ESP-NOW.

### Analysis & Necessary Changes

Your provided code structure is excellent for an ESP-NOW sender, but it has a few critical issues that need fixing before we can implement the state change:

1.  **Missing Variables:** The variables `accelX`, `accelY`, `accelZ`, and `MOVEMENT_THRESHOLD` are used but never declared or initialized in the provided snippet.
2.  **State Management:** You need a persistent way to know if you *were* moving last time, so you can send `"Movement subsided"` when movement stops.
3.  **Data Structure Update:** We must ensure that both "Movement detected" and "Movement subsided" are correctly placed into the `myData` structure's character array (`a`).

### The Combined & Corrected Code (Sender Side)

I have integrated the state tracking logic from our previous exchange into your ESP-NOW framework. I also added placeholders for the missing variables and fixed the simulation to better mimic real sensor readings.

**⚠️ IMPORTANT:** You must still replace the placeholder sections marked with comments (`// *** ACTION REQUIRED ***`) with your actual ADXL343 reading functions.

### Key Improvements and How the State Logic Works:

1.  **State Variable:** I introduced `bool wasMovingLastCycle = false;`. This variable remembers what the state *was* in the previous loop iteration.
2.  **Transition Detection (The Magic):** Instead of just checking if it's moving now, we check for **transitions**:
    *   `if (isCurrentlyMoving && !wasMovingLastCycle)`: This means: "I am moving NOW, but I was NOT moving last time." $\rightarrow$ **Send "Movement detected"**.
    *   `else if (!isCurrentlyMoving && wasMovingLastCycle)`: This means: "I am still NOW, but I WAS moving last time." $\rightarrow$ **Send "Movement subsided"**.
3.  **Continuous Sending:** Crucially, the code now sends data *every loop cycle*, regardless of state change. However, it only prints the specific status message (`"Movement detected"` or `"Movement subsided"`) when a **state transition** occurs.

### ⚠️ Final Checklist Before Uploading:

1.  **MAC Address:** Update `broadcastAddress` to your receiver's MAC address.
2.  **ADXL343 Calls:** Replace the entire content of `readAccelerometerData()` with the actual, working calls using your ADXL343 library functions (e.g., reading raw bytes and calculating X, Y, Z).
3.  **Threshold Tuning:** Test this thoroughly! The threshold determines how sensitive it is to noise vs. real movement.

Let me know if you run into any issues with the ESP-NOW setup or the sensor integration!

### User
yay it works AND the reciever is sending. but its sending movement detected when im not moving...

### Assistant
This is an extremely common and frustrating problem in sensor reading—it means your **noise floor** (the random electrical noise picked up by the wires, or slight vibrations from the board itself) is exceeding your `MOVEMENT_THRESHOLD`.

The system thinks that even when you are perfectly still, the tiny fluctuations are enough to trigger a "Movement detected" state change.

We need to make the detection logic **much stricter** and focus on comparing the current reading against a stable baseline (like gravity).

Here are three escalating strategies to fix this, starting with the easiest:

---

### Strategy 1: Increase the Threshold (The Quick Fix)

If you suspect the noise is small but constant, simply making the threshold higher will ignore that noise.

**Action:** Increase `MOVEMENT_THRESHOLD` significantly.
*   Try setting it to **`1.5`** or even **`2.0`**.
*   Test again. If this works, your environment/wiring has a lot of ambient electrical noise.

---

### Strategy 2: Implement a "Stable Baseline" Check (Recommended)

Instead of just checking if the *change* is big, we need to check if the reading is significantly different from what it *should* be when stationary (i.e., pointing straight down due to gravity).

When perfectly still, the total acceleration magnitude should be very close to **$1G$** (or $\sqrt{0^2 + 0^2 + 1^2} = 1$).

We will modify the logic to only trigger movement if:
1.  The current magnitude is far from $1G$.
2.  AND the change in magnitude is large enough.

**Modification:** We need to calculate the expected "still" magnitude (which should be $\approx 1.0$) and compare against that, rather than just comparing the difference between two readings.

*(I will update the code block below with this logic.)*

---

### Strategy 3: Implement a Moving Average Filter (The Robust Fix)

If Strategies 1 and 2 fail, it means the noise is complex. The best solution in embedded systems is to **filter** the data using a **Moving Average Filter**. Instead of deciding based on one reading, you average the last $N$ readings together. This smooths out all high-frequency electrical noise.

---

### 🚀 Updated Code Implementing Strategy 2 (Baseline Check)

Let's implement the baseline check first, as it is the most targeted fix for this specific problem. I have updated the `loop()` function significantly to incorporate this logic.

**Key Changes:**
1.  We now calculate a `expected_magnitude` based on gravity ($1G$).
2.  The detection triggers if the current magnitude deviates from $1G$ by more than a certain amount (`STABILITY_DEVIATION`).

```cpp
// ... (Keep all includes, structs, and setup() function exactly as they were) ...

// --- GLOBAL VARIABLES & CONFIGURATION ---
// ... (MAC address, struct definition remain the same) ...

// *** NEW CONSTANTS FOR STABILITY CHECKING ***
const float GRAVITY_MAGNITUDE = 1.0; // Expected magnitude when perfectly still (assuming Z is vertical)
const float STABILITY_DEVIATION = 0.3; // How far from 1G must we deviate to count as movement? (Tune this!)

// --- STATE MANAGEMENT VARIABLES ---
bool wasMovingLastCycle = false;


void loop() {
    // 1. Read Sensor Data
    readAccelerometerData(); 

    // 2. Calculate Movement Magnitude
    float magnitude = sqrt(accelX * accelX + accelY * accelY + accelZ * accelZ);

    // 3. Determine Current State (The Core Logic Change)
    bool isCurrentlyMoving = false;
    
    // Check if the current reading deviates significantly from the expected gravity baseline (1G)
    if (abs(magnitude - GRAVITY_MAGNITUDE) &gt; STABILITY_DEVIATION) {
        isCurrentlyMoving = true;
    }

    // 4. State Transition Logic & Sending Messages
    
    if (isCurrentlyMoving && !wasMovingLastCycle) {
        // --- TRANSITION: From Still to Moving ---
        Serial.println("\n**************************************");
        Serial.println("!!! Movement detected !!!"); // &lt;-- ALERT TEXT
        Serial.println("**************************************\n");

        strcpy(myData.a, "Movement detected"); 
        myData.b = 1;                                 
        myData.c = magnitude;

    } else {

        if (!isCurrentlyMoving && !wasMovingLastCycle) {
             // If we are stable, send the "subsided" message periodically (e.g., every 2 seconds)
             static unsigned long last_stable_report = 0;
             if (millis() - last_stable_report &gt; 2000) {
                Serial.println("Movement subsided"); // Send this only when stable for a while

                myData.d = false;

                 goto skip_send; // Skip sending data this cycle to prevent spamming
             }
        } else if (isCurrentlyMoving && wasMovingLastCycle) {
            // If moving, just update and resend without printing a message.
        }
    }

    // 5. Send Data (Send on every loop cycle or when state changes)

```

### Summary of Changes in this Version:

1.  **New Constants:** Introduced `GRAVITY_MAGNITUDE` ($\approx 1.0$) and `STABILITY_DEVIATION`. **Tune these two values!**
2.  **State Logic Overhaul:** The logic now checks if the magnitude is far from $1G$ to determine `isCurrentlyMoving`.
3.  **Sending on Stability:** I added a small timer (`last_stable_report`) so that when you are still, it doesn't spam `"Movement subsided"` every half second; it only sends an update every 2 seconds while stable.

Try this version first! If it *still* triggers false positives, we must move to **Strategy 3: Moving Average Filter**.

### User
can you change the code so that it also prints movement detected or movement subsided on the sender serial monitor?

### Assistant
You are asking for perfect synchronization: the message printed to the **Sender's Serial Monitor** must exactly match the status being sent over **ESP-NOW** (and vice versa).

In the previous version, I already implemented this by using `Serial.println()` right before sending the data packet when a state change occurred. However, I noticed that in the "stable" case (`else` block), we were skipping the print statement entirely to prevent spamming.

I have refined the logic again to ensure that **every time a status is determined (detected or subsided)**, it prints clearly on the sender's serial monitor *before* sending the packet.

Here is the final, highly synchronized version:

### Key Takeaway on Synchronization:

The key to making this work is that **the status message printed to the Serial Monitor *is* the confirmation of what was sent.**

1.  **State Change:** When `(Still -&gt; Move)` happens, we print `"Movement detected"` AND we set `myData.a` to `"Movement detected"`.
2.  **Stable State:** When stable, we only print a status message (e.g., `"--- Status: Movement subsided ---"`) and update the packet payload accordingly.

This structure ensures that your console output perfectly mirrors the data being transmitted wirelessly!

Compilation error: jump to label 'skip_send'

### Assistant
You have run into a classic C/C++ compilation error related to using `goto` statements in conjunction with variable declarations. The compiler is correctly warning you that jumping over the declaration of `esp_err_t result` is illegal and dangerous because it might skip initializing that variable.

The fix is simple: **We need to restructure the code flow so we don't use `goto`.** We can achieve the same effect using boolean flags or by restructuring the sending block entirely.

Here is the corrected, cleaner version of the `loop()` function that eliminates the illegal `goto` statement while maintaining all the complex state logic and synchronized printing.

### The Fix: Restructuring the Send Block

I have replaced the entire section containing `goto skip_send;` with a clean structure using a flag to control whether we should attempt to send data in this cycle.

```cpp
// ... (Keep setup(), OnDataSent(), global variables, and readAccelerometerData() function exactly as they were) ...


void loop() {
    // 1. Read Sensor Data

### Summary of Fixes Applied:

1.  **Removed `goto`:** The illegal jump statement has been removed entirely.
2.  **Introduced `shouldSendPacket` Flag:** This boolean flag now controls the sending mechanism. We only attempt to send data (`esp_now_send`) if this flag is set to `true`.
3.  **Refined Logic Flow:** The logic flow is now: **Determine State $\rightarrow$ Print Status (if transition) $\rightarrow$ Set Flag $\rightarrow$ Send Data (if flag is true)**.

This structure is much cleaner, avoids compiler errors, and achieves the exact synchronized output you wanted!
