I'm working on a project and have created a sensor that outputs pulses with various amplitudes and widths.
I'd like to write the input pulses to an array so that I can determine what values the micro-controller is reading based on the input. Attached is an image of what the pulses look like from a scope with 2V div and 5ms div. The green values are the input to the micro-controller.
Would the following code be a good way to capture all of the pulses into an array?
I'm going into the lab later tonight to work on this and wanted some input before testing.
Ideally the code will write 100 pulses to an array and when the count reaches 100 it will write it to serial. Thanks for any input!
int pinIn = 0; // Interrupt 0 on D2
int pin = 2; //PulseIn D2
long pulseArray[100]; //Array for capturing 100 pulses
int count = 0;
long duration = 0;
void pulseinArray()
{
duration = pulseIn(pin,HIGH);
pulseArray[count] = duration;
count++;
}
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(115200);
pinMode(pin, INPUT);
//Attach the interrupt to the input pin and monitor for HIGH
attachInterrupt(pinIn, pulseinArray, HIGH);
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
{
pulseArray[i] = 0;
}
}
void loop()
{
if (count > 100)
{
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
{
Serial.print("Pulse Width ");
Serial.print(i);
Serial.print(" ");
Serial.println(pulseArray[i]);
}
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
{
pulseArray[i] = 0;
}
Serial.println("END ARRAY PRINT");
count = 0;
delay(1000);
}}
