Hello need HELP
I was looking towards a project using arduino microcontroller that involves a normal disperser like the milk,soda.... But to be precise its dispenses cooking oil..Back here in my country they are becoming economics of scale and would love to have a code that I can use in the dispenser
The code is supposed calculate and give exact time of disperse in accordance to volume to be dispensed per price input using a keypad,also can have changeable price per liter and can calculate flow rate...sorry for the hustle
Do you have a question?
I need help guys have been working on this code for my project I wrote about(oil dispenser)
Compile was successful but seems not functioning as per the code..the flow is.user puts password,after acknowledge then the user puts the price of choice, then arduino calculate time for disperse and quantity to be dispersed according to this formula [price = quantity*rate(rupees per liter)]/1000 and [time= quantity/flow rate(ml/s)

if(key = 'A');Did you ever see an if written like that?
There's a good reason for that, as you have found out.
Please remember to use code tags when posting code
long usigned;int delay();
millilitres / rateflow;
return;time = 0;
Nothing happens after a return.
You don't appear to do anything with your variable "usigned", and there is no need for a (incorrect) function prototype for "delay()"
i have done exactly same project like yours , dispensing water instead of oil,
its a client-server based one meaning all the users info are stored on web database, PM me if you are interested
