DHT11 sensor Sending data by xbee to xbee

[vmansmx5]

Well after a few hours nuting it out i just about have it working but with one little problem with the reciver end here is the tx code

Code: [Select]

#include "DHT.h"
#define DHTPIN 2     
#define DHTTYPE DHT11   
DHT dht(DHTPIN, DHTTYPE);

void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop()
{

float h = dht.readHumidity();
float t = dht.readTemperature();

Serial.print("<T:");
Serial.print(t, DEC);
Serial.print(">");

delay(2000);

Serial.print("<H:");
Serial.print(h, DEC);
Serial.print(">");

delay(2000);
}

The Rx code

Code: [Select]

char inData[24];
byte index;
boolean started = false;
boolean ended = false;

void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println("Temperature & Humidity");
}

void loop()
{
  while(Serial.available() > 0)
  {
char aChar = Serial.read();
if(aChar == '<')
{
    started = true;
    index = 0;
    inData[index] = '\0';
}
else if(aChar == '>')
{
    ended = true;
}
else if(started)
{
    inData[index] = aChar;
    index++;
    inData[index] = ',';
}
  }

  if(started && ended)
  {
// Use the value
if(inData[0] == 'T')
{
   inData[0] = ' ';
   int windVal = atoi(inData);
           Serial.println(" ");
   Serial.print("Temp:");
           Serial.print(inData);
           Serial.print("C");
           Serial.println(" ");
}
else if(inData[0] == 'H')
     {
   inData[0] = ' ';
           int temp = atoi(inData);
   Serial.println(" ");
           Serial.print("Humidity:");
           Serial.print(inData);
           Serial.print("%");
           Serial.println(" ");
     }

started = false;
ended = false;

index = 0;
inData[index] = '\0';
  }
}

This is what im getting in the coms on the reviver end

Code: [Select]

Temp: :16.0000000000,C

Humidity: :42.0000000000,%

Temp: :16.0000000000,C

Humidity: :42.0000000000,%

Temp: :16.0000000000,C

Humidity: :42.0000000000,%

Temp: :16.0000000000,C

Humidity: :42.0000000000,%

the problem is whats all the 000000000000 on the end i just want 16.00C or 42.00%
How can i fix this need help

[vmansmx5]

well i added the lcd to the reciver end works great but all them 0000000000 i dont get

Code: [Select]

#include <Wire.h>
#include <LiquidCrystal_I2C.h>
LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd(0x27,20,21);

boolean ended = false;

void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println("Temperature & Humidity");
lcd.init();                     
lcd.backlight();
lcd.begin(20, 4);
lcd.setCursor(6, 1);
lcd.print("WELCOME");
delay(3000);
lcd.clear();
}

void loop()
{
  while(Serial.available() > 0)
  {
char aChar = Serial.read();
if(aChar == '<')
{
    started = true;
    index = 0;
    inData[index] = '\0';

           Serial.println(" ");
           lcd.setCursor(0, 0);
           lcd.print("Temp:");
           lcd.setCursor(0, 1);
           lcd.print(inData);
           lcd.print("C");
}
else if(inData[0] == 'H')
     {
   inData[0] = ' ';
           int temp = atoi(inData);
   Serial.println(" ");
           Serial.print("Humidity:");

           lcd.print("Humidity:");
           lcd.setCursor(0, 3);
           lcd.print(inData);
           lcd.print("%");
     }

started = false;
ended = false;

index = 0;
inData[index] = '\0';
  }
}

I fixd it here we go

Code: [Select]

#include "DHT.h"
#define DHTPIN 2    
#define DHTTYPE DHT11  
DHT dht(DHTPIN, DHTTYPE);

void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop()
{

float h = dht.readHumidity();
float t = dht.readTemperature();

Serial.print("<T");
Serial.print(t);
Serial.print(">");

delay(2000);

Serial.print("<H");
Serial.print(h);
Serial.print(">");

delay(2000);
}

i took out the Serial.print(h, DEC);
and it works great  

Code: [Select]

Temperature & Humidity

Temp: 17.00,C

Humidity: 57.00,%

Temp: 17.00,C

Humidity: 56.00,%

Temp: 17.00,C

Humidity: 55.00,%


[PaulS]

i took out the Serial.print(h, DEC);

For floats, the 2nd argument is the number of decimal places to print. You are telling it to print 10 decimal places.

[vmansmx5]

Ok is that good.
here i have the transmitter with temp sensor moisture sensor and voltage but have proplems with the moisture reading on the reciver end. im geting .00 coming up when its on 0 this so my display its a 4line lcd

Temp:        17.00 C
Humidity:   40.00 %
Moisture:    0 .00
Voltage:     5.00  V

This is the code for the TX unit

Code: [Select]

#include "DHT.h"
#define DHTPIN 2     
#define DHTTYPE DHT11   
DHT dht(DHTPIN, DHTTYPE);

int Sensor1 = A0;
int analogInput = A1;
float vout = 0.0;
float vin = 0.0;
float R1 = 30000.02;   
float R2 =  7399.40;     
int value = 0;

void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop()
{

float h = dht.readHumidity();
float t = dht.readTemperature();
int Sensor1 = analogRead(A0);
value = analogRead(analogInput);
vout = (value * 5.0) / 1024.0;
vin = vout / (R2/(R1+R2));

Serial.print("<T");
Serial.print(t);
Serial.print(">");

delay(1000);

Serial.print("<H");
Serial.print(h);
Serial.print(">");

delay(1000);

Serial.print("<M");
Serial.print(Sensor1);

i have also been working on this code for the transmiter what im tying to do is have the reviver send a code to the transmitter then it reads it then sends the value to the reciver then the reviver displays the value then sends out the next code and so on till it gets all 4 values then it delays then dose it all again.
So what i want is the reciver to send this

send this <R> For Temp Val
wait for incoming val
then display incoming Val

send this <B> For Humidity Val
wait for incoming val
then display incoming Val

send this <C> For Soil Val
wait for incoming val
then display incoming Val

send this <D> For Volt Val
wait for incoming val
then display incoming Val

then delay for 5mins then start again

This works great if i send them out the coms using my xbee coms board
Can anyone help me with this

This is the transmitter code.

ok so i put on a TFT color LCD looks Great just been playing around with it here are some photos of my workbench the photos are not the best.

[PaulS]

This works great if i send them out the coms using my xbee coms board
Can anyone help me with this

So, what is the problem?

[vmansmx5]

Well not sure on the reciver code how to set it up like this.
i can send the  R B C D by my xbee adapter board and the transmitter sends back the values.
But how to set up the reviver part im not sure can i put in a delay that waits for incoming val then sends out the next code......
So what i want is the reciver to Run like this

send this <R> For Temp Val
wait for incoming val
then display incoming Val

send this <B> For Humidity Val
wait for incoming val
then display incoming Val

send this <C> For Soil Val
wait for incoming val
then display incoming Val

send this <D> For Volt Val
wait for incoming val
then display incoming Val

then delay for 5mins then start again

[PaulS]

So what i want is the reciver to Run like this

send this <R> For Temp Val
wait for incoming val
then display incoming Val

<snip>

send this <D> For Volt Val
wait for incoming val
then display incoming Val

then delay for 5mins then start again

I'm confused. What are you sending "<R>" to? What is sending data? Why does the receiver need to wait?

In my mind, the receiver should do nothing until it receives a letter command. It should then process that command, which means sending the appropriate output. There is no reason for it to delay at all.

The application that sends the letter commands should only send them once every 5 minutes.

[vmansmx5]

the reciver is sending <R> for temp to the transmitter then the transmitter sends back the value for the of temp
the reciver then displays the value.
then the reciver sends <B> For Humidity to the  transmitter then the transmitter sends back the value for the of temp
the reciver then displays the value.
and so on
I tryd this but it keeps sending then out and cant get the value back delays dont work

Send a bunch of requests on every pass through loop. Then, don't wait for a response or for any data to have arrived. OK, I think I see the problem.

You need to create a blocking function, called after each request for data, that waits for a reply.

You are sending R, B, C, and D, and expecting T, H, M, and V. Why is that?

You are sending R, B, C, and D, and expecting T, H, M, and V. Why is that?

Becouse i want the reciver to send out R,B,C,D to get the value back by T,H,M,V

You need to create a blocking function, called after each request for data, that waits for a reply.

How can this be done?
