Hi everyone.
I am new at Arduino development and have a problem with programming the TouchShield and Arduino Board to communicate together.
Always when i send a String the TouchShield does show the first char alone and a half second later the whole string but without the first char.
i want to show the Time without flashing of the screen.
#include "Wire.h"
#include <AFSoftSerial.h>
#define DS1307_I2C_ADDRESS 0x68
//touch shield slide ports
#define RX_PIN 3
#define TX_PIN 2
AFSoftSerial touchSerial = AFSoftSerial(RX_PIN, TX_PIN);
// Convert normal decimal numbers to binary coded decimal
byte decToBcd(byte val)
{
return ( (val/10*16) + (val%10) );
}
// Convert binary coded decimal to normal decimal numbers
byte bcdToDec(byte val)
{
return ( (val/16*10) + (val%16) );
}
// Stops the DS1307, but it has the side effect of setting seconds to 0
// Probably only want to use this for testing
/*void stopDs1307()
{
Wire.beginTransmission(DS1307_I2C_ADDRESS);
Wire.send(0);
Wire.send(0x80);
Wire.endTransmission();
}*/
// 1) Sets the date and time on the ds1307
// 2) Starts the clock
// 3) Sets hour mode to 24 hour clock
// Assumes you're passing in valid numbers
void setDateDs1307(byte second, // 0-59
byte minute, // 0-59
byte hour, // 1-23
byte dayOfWeek, // 1-7
byte dayOfMonth, // 1-28/29/30/31
byte month, // 1-12
byte year) // 0-99
{
Wire.beginTransmission(DS1307_I2C_ADDRESS);
Wire.send(0);
Wire.send(decToBcd(second)); // 0 to bit 7 starts the clock
Wire.send(decToBcd(minute));
Wire.send(decToBcd(hour)); // If you want 12 hour am/pm you need to set
// bit 6 (also need to change readDateDs1307)
Wire.send(decToBcd(dayOfWeek));
Wire.send(decToBcd(dayOfMonth));
Wire.send(decToBcd(month));
Wire.send(decToBcd(year));
Wire.endTransmission();
}
// Gets the date and time from the ds1307
void getDateDs1307(byte *second,
byte *minute,
byte *hour,
byte *dayOfWeek,
byte *dayOfMonth,
byte *month,
byte *year)
{
// Reset the register pointer
Wire.beginTransmission(DS1307_I2C_ADDRESS);
Wire.send(0);
Wire.endTransmission();
Wire.requestFrom(DS1307_I2C_ADDRESS, 7);
// A few of these need masks because certain bits are control bits
*second = bcdToDec(Wire.receive() & 0x7f);
*minute = bcdToDec(Wire.receive());
*hour = bcdToDec(Wire.receive() & 0x3f); // Need to change this if 12 hour am/pm
*dayOfWeek = bcdToDec(Wire.receive());
*dayOfMonth = bcdToDec(Wire.receive());
*month = bcdToDec(Wire.receive());
*year = bcdToDec(Wire.receive());
}
// TouchShield functions
void printClockToScreen() {
}
void setup()
{
byte second, minute, hour, dayOfWeek, dayOfMonth, month, year;
Wire.begin();
//set touch slide communication
pinMode(RX_PIN, INPUT);
pinMode(TX_PIN, OUTPUT);
touchSerial.begin(9600);
pinMode(9,INPUT);
// Change these values to what you want to set your clock to.
// You probably only want to set your clock once and then remove
// the setDateDs1307 call.
second = 45;
minute = 23;
hour = 23;
dayOfWeek = 3;
dayOfMonth = 28;
month = 4;
year = 10;
//setDateDs1307(second, minute, hour, dayOfWeek, dayOfMonth, month, year);
}
void loop()
{
byte second, minute, hour, dayOfWeek, dayOfMonth, month, year;
getDateDs1307(&second, &minute, &hour, &dayOfWeek, &dayOfMonth, &month, &year);
//touch slide send
char secondstr[32];
snprintf(secondstr, sizeof(secondstr), "%d:%d:%d", hour, minute, second);
touchSerial.print(secondstr);
delay(1000);
}
thanks for any help or idea.
