Hello,
I can't seem to get the 7h and 8th analog channels to work. 1-6 are great. any suggestions??
Thanks,
Willie
Which version of the Arduino software are you using? Support for the last two analog inputs was only added in Arduino 0006. Also, the channels are numbered 0 to 7, not 1 to 8.
Hello,
Thanks for the reply. I'm using 0007. And yes, I'm trying to access inputs 6 & 7 of 0-7. Here's the code I wrote to create smoothed midi continuous controls from the 8 analog ins. Analog 0-5 work beautifully. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Willie
// Variables:
int LED = 13;
int ANA_AVG_old[8] = {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0};
int ANA_AVG_new[8] = {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0};
// Functions:
// compile midi message
void ConC(char cmd, char data1, char data2) {
Serial.print(cmd, BYTE);
Serial.print(data1, BYTE);
Serial.print(data2, BYTE);
}
void setup() {
// Set MIDI baud rate:
Serial.begin(31250);
}
void loop() {
//Read Analog pins, make a running average, if diff then send values
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
ANA_AVG_new[i] = (ANA_AVG_old[i] + analogRead(i)) /2;
if (ANA_AVG_new[i] != ANA_AVG_old[i]) { //if diff do stuff
ConC(176, i, ANA_AVG_new[i]/8);
analogWrite(LED, 128);
delay(10);
ANA_AVG_old[i] = ANA_AVG_new[i];
} else { //else if same do less stuff
analogWrite(LED, 0);
}
}
} //END VOID LOOP
What do you mean by not working correctly? What values do you get? How did you physically connect to the analog inputs?
I'm getting no values at all on the last two. Physically, I have all 8 inputs connected identically. I'm using a potentiometer to send midi continuous control values from 0-127. Inputs 0-5 work flawlessly. But I get absolutely nothing out of 6 & 7. Is there something different about these last two inputs? Do they need to be addressed differently? Do they need to be somehow declared/prepped in the void setup()? I've tried multiple minis in different capacities and have not been able to get anything from inputs 6 & 7 in botth Arduino 0006 and 0007.
Which processor are you using? On the ATmega8, there are only 6 analog input pins: 0..5.
thanks for the post. i'm using the atmega168 with (supposedly) 8 analog ins.
is there anybody who is using the last two analog ins? it seems like there is something inherently different about AD6 and AD7 based off of my and my associates' trials. the issue is really perplexing us, as 0-5 work swiftly, and there is nothing shown coming in to 6-7.
best,
willie
replace the pins_arduino.c file with the following code
path is
arduino-0007/lib/targets/arduino/
and pins 6 &7 will work!
Thanks to all who helped.
Best,
Willie

Whoops. That's what I get for not soldering some wires to my Mini and testing my code! I'll fix this in Arduino 0008.
You just changed this line, right?
#define NUM_ANALOG_IN_PINS 8
yep! that's the one. also, make sure the end of the file looks like the below (that { PC, 6 }, and { PC, 7 }, are included, etc.

Are you sure it doesn't work if you remove these two lines?
{ PC, 6 },
{ PC, 7 },
actually, no, i didn't check it out with those lines removed... maybe it does. i'll test it out tonight.
willie, you rock.
I have a question. Have you successfully managed to get the extra pins to work with Max/MSP yet?
(because I haven't... 
)
