Hello everyone,
I am struggling with my programming.
Problem:
I have got these two programs that should both be getting data at 10hz however one is receiving data at 1hz instead and I can't identify where the problem in my code is.
I know the problem is with the code because I can run the other program on the same hardware and gets data at 10hz.
Hardware:
Program 1: (data at 10hz)
#include "HX711.h"
HX711 scale;
float calibrationFactor = 4.7; // Enter the calibration factor from Program 1 here
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
scale.begin(9, 10);
scale.set_scale(calibrationFactor); // Set the calibration factor
scale.tare(); // Zero the scale
}
void loop() {
unsigned long startTime = millis();
while (millis() - startTime < 100000) { // Run for 10 seconds
if (scale.is_ready()) {
float weight = scale.get_units(1); // Read weight with 10 decimal places
Serial.println(weight);
}
}
while (true) {
// Do nothing, the program has finished
}
}
Program 2: (data at 1hz)
#include "HX711.h"
int State;
HX711 scale;
float calibrationFactor = 4.7;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(8, INPUT);
scale.begin(9, 10);
scale.set_scale(calibrationFactor);
scale.tare();
}
void loop() {
State = digitalRead(8);
if(State==1){
unsigned long startTime = millis();
while (millis() - startTime < 100000) {
if(scale.is_ready()) {
scale.tare();
float weight = scale.get_units(1);
Serial.println(weight);
}}}
else {
}
}
I would like to get program 2 to gather data at 10hz.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
