Hello guys, this is a follow up post from my previous one, below is the code for my counter that im planning to sync with the RTC. Once the sensor was triggered it will record the increment and the timestamp.
This is one is the code for my counter sensor

#include <SD.h> //SD Card Library
//SPI SD Card Pins
//MOSI = Pin 11
//MISO = Pin 12
//SCLK = PIN 13
const int CS_pin = 10;
int pow_pin = 8;
// this constant won't change:
const int buttonPin1 = 3; // the pin that the pushbutton is attached to
const int buttonPin2 = 5;
const int ledPin1 = 13; // the pin that the LED is attached to
const int ledPin2 = 11;
// Variables will change:
int buttonPushCounter = 0; // counter for the number of button presses
int buttonState = 0; // current state of the button
int lastButtonState = 0; // previous state of the button
int buttonPushCounter1 = 0; // counter for the number of button presses
int buttonState1 = 0; // current state of the button
int lastButtonState1 = 0; // previous state of the button
long lastEvent= 0; // The last time a bee has entered the feeding station
long interval= 300; // The debounce time
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println("Initializing Card");
//CS Pin is an output
pinMode(CS_pin, OUTPUT);
//SD Card will Draw Power from Pin 8, so set it high
pinMode(pow_pin, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(pow_pin, HIGH);
//Initialize Card
if (!SD.begin(CS_pin))
{
Serial.println("Card Failure");
return;
}
Serial.println("Card Ready");
// initialize the button pin as a input:
pinMode(buttonPin1, INPUT);
pinMode(buttonPin2, INPUT);
// initialize serial communication:
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
// read the pushbutton input pin:
buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin1);
buttonState1 = digitalRead(buttonPin2);
// compare the buttonState to its previous state
if (buttonState != lastButtonState)
{
// if the state has changed, increment the counter
if (buttonState == HIGH && millis() - lastEvent > interval)// Ignore this reading if it is too close to the last one
{
lastEvent= millis(); // a bee can be recorded
// if the current state is HIGH then the button
// wend from off to on:
buttonPushCounter++;
Serial.println("Bees are being detected entering Feeding Station A");
Serial.print("number of bees that entered Feeding Station A: ");
Serial.println(buttonPushCounter);
}
}
if (buttonState1 != lastButtonState1)
{
// if the state has changed, increment the counter
if (buttonState1 == HIGH && millis() - lastEvent > interval)// Ignore this reading if it is too close to the last one
{
lastEvent= millis(); // a bee can be recorded)
// if the current state is HIGH then the button
// wend from off to on:
buttonPushCounter1++;
Serial.println("Bees are being detected entering Feeding Station B");
Serial.print("number of bees that entered Feeding Station B: ");
Serial.println(buttonPushCounter1);
}
//Write Log File Header
File logFile = SD.open("DATALOG.csv", FILE_WRITE);
if (logFile)
{
logFile.print(buttonPushCounter);
logFile.print(", ");
logFile.println(buttonPushCounter1);
logFile.close();
Serial.print(buttonPushCounter);
Serial.print(", ");
Serial.println(buttonPushCounter1);
}
else
{
Serial.println("LogFile cannot be opened");
}
lastButtonState = buttonState;
lastButtonState1= buttonState1;
}
}
This one is the code to show the time from my RTC DS1307
#include <Wire.h>
#include "RTClib.h"
RTC_DS1307 RTC;
void setup () {
Serial.begin(9600);
Wire.begin();
RTC.begin();
if (! RTC.isrunning()) {
Serial.println("RTC is NOT running!");
// following line sets the RTC to the date & time this sketch was compiled
//RTC.adjust(DateTime(__DATE__, __TIME__));
}
}
void loop () {
DateTime now = RTC.now();
Serial.print(now.year(), DEC);
Serial.print('/');
Serial.print(now.month(), DEC);
Serial.print('/');
Serial.print(now.day(), DEC);
Serial.print(' ');
Serial.print(now.hour(), DEC);
Serial.print(':');
Serial.print(now.minute(), DEC);
Serial.print(':');
Serial.print(now.second(), DEC);
Serial.println();
Serial.println();
delay(1000);
}
Some people said i should use interrupt once the sensor was triggered an interrupt function will get the time from the RTC and log it, however i have no idea how to use it. thanks!
