How baud is your serial monitor configured?

RV mineirin
baud

#3

Thanks for getting back to me 9600 baud

#4

I changed my baud and its better but why is the a here?

Hi
I tested your sketch, at 9600 baud, and it appears correct on the serial monitor.

Hi yes but after the win message and pressing a switch to restart then issue starts

In the sketch you posted this line is commented.

 // Serial.print("Simon says game,press the switch the 7 segment display is indicating to Start!");

Yes I changed the follow the sequence to that message so I didn't need that

Now I have used you code with baud 57.600 and look the result printout.

As I do not have the seven segment display plugged into the Arduino, I again sent the line with the codes to print so I could type them.

#12

Oh wow! But how come mine doesn't print like that?

#13

Perhaps a power problem.
How are you powering the arduino?
The seven segment are on the same power supply?

RV mineirin

#14

Yes the 7 segment is powered up to 5v by the arduino

#15

Ok since I can't solve that issue please do you know what I can do to end the game after the win message?

#16

Hi,
try to place this routine after this message from the winner:
That's how I did the test.

Serial.print ("You Win !, press the switch indicated by the 7 segment to restart");

getting like this:

     Serial.print ("You Win !, press the switch indicated by the 7 segment to restart");
   for (index = 0; index <winner; index ++) {
     gameArray [index] = (random (0, 4));
     Serial.print ("");
     Serial.print (gameArray [index]);
     displaySymbol (gameArray [index]);
}

Oh thank you so much it works perfectly now :grin:

Hi,
if the solution met your need,
please check as solved.
