i think the issue is that arduino language converts serial data to integer values between 0 and 1023. But how can I remove this conversion and just get the channel number, a space, and then the value? Below is code and a pic of the max patch...
//Mux control pins
int s0 = 8;
int s1 = 9;
int s2 = 10;
int s3 = 11;
//Mux in "SIG" pin
int SIG_pin = 0;
void setup(){
pinMode(s0, OUTPUT);
pinMode(s1, OUTPUT);
pinMode(s2, OUTPUT);
pinMode(s3, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(s0, LOW);
digitalWrite(s1, LOW);
digitalWrite(s2, LOW);
digitalWrite(s3, LOW);
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop(){
//Loop through and read all 16 values
//Reports back Value at channel 6 is: 346
for(int i = 0; i < 16; i ++){
[color=red] Serial.print(i); // return the channel number
Serial.print(" "); /// put a space inbetween channel number and value
Serial.print(readMux(i));// return the value[/color]
delay(10);
}
}
int readMux(int channel){
int controlPin[] = {s0, s1, s2, s3};
int muxChannel[16][4]={
{0,0,0,0}, //channel 0
{1,0,0,0}, //channel 1
{0,1,0,0}, //channel 2
{1,1,0,0}, //channel 3
{0,0,1,0}, //channel 4
{1,0,1,0}, //channel 5
{0,1,1,0}, //channel 6
{1,1,1,0}, //channel 7
{0,0,0,1}, //channel 8
{1,0,0,1}, //channel 9
{0,1,0,1}, //channel 10
{1,1,0,1}, //channel 11
{0,0,1,1}, //channel 12
{1,0,1,1}, //channel 13
{0,1,1,1}, //channel 14
{1,1,1,1} //channel 15
};
//loop through the 4 sig
for(int i = 0; i < 4; i ++){
digitalWrite(controlPin[i], muxChannel[channel][i]);
}
//read the value at the SIG pin
int val = analogRead(SIG_pin);
//return the value
return val;
}
