Combined sensors HELP!

cj_duino · July 5, 2021, 3:41pm

Hello,

I am trying to code this sensor, well 3 sensors, (Grove PM2.5 Sensor, CJMCU-MS1100 TVOC sensor and BME280 TPH sensor together with a relay module) to take readings every 15 minutes, for 5 minutes (3 readings/hour), using the relay module. I understand i must use Millis() function and equation to create timed events. However, i am still very much a novice with code and have no idea how to integrate all codes for each sensor into one, with the relay and timed events.

Here is the code:

It is probably how I have structured the code, but again, I am not sure as I am so new to C++ and coding in general.

Here is a picture of my connections, am I right in having my ground pins from the sensors connected to the normally closed pins on the relay, and the VCC pins from the sensors connected to the common pins on the relay?

Connections:

BME280 soldered to the 5V GND SDA SCL pins on RTC stack)
5V - Pin A2
GND - Pin A3
SDA - Pin A4
SCL - Pin A5

CJMCU-MS1100
GND - Relay NC pin
DOUT - Pin D2
AOUT - Pin A0
VCC - Relay COM pin

Grove PM2.5 HM-3300/3600 Dust Sensor
GND - Relay NC pin
VCC - Relay COM pin
SDA - SDA pin
SCL - SCL pin

2 Channel Relay
GND - GND pin
IN 1 - pin 9
IN 2 - pin 8
VCC - VCC pin

If anyone is able to help me code this correctly, to the correct hardware pins with the relay and produce the timed events required, I would be eternally grateful!!!!

Is anyone able to help me out? I know this code is also messy (well, looks like it to me) so any advice on clearer structure of code would be amazing too!

void loggingTime() ;
  DateTime now . rtcnow();
  DataFile = SD.open("Data.txt", FILE_WRITE);
  if (DataFile) {
    DataFile.print(now.year(), DEC);

That's not how to write a function.
In your code you have setup() coded correctly, then many other functions are completely wrong syntax (including the loop function).

You have to follow the language rules exactly everywhere, you can't just guess!

gilshultz · July 6, 2021, 8:16pm

Include a schematic, not a frizzy thing. switching the ground of the sensors is a very bad practice. I would try to work with each sensor/actuator one at a time and write code to control and or read them. You will be much better equipped to put all of them in one piece of code.

cj_duino · July 7, 2021, 9:06am

Thank you both. I have been set this task to complete by the end of July with no help/previous knowledge of coding or this hardware, so it is pretty difficult. I appreciate your help and honesty.

I was thinking i need to go back and start sensor by sensor so i will do this.

Cheers!

wildbill · July 7, 2021, 3:57pm

Good idea. Write a separate sketch for each sensor - the library examples should help. Then combine them one by one.

MarkT · July 7, 2021, 8:37pm

Absolutely, top advice. You never want to be in a situation where you combine any components (hw or sw) you haven't individually tested. You certainly never want to combine many untested components.

gilshultz · July 9, 2021, 1:36am

Thanks for letting us know we are glad we were able to help. We are here if you need help. Remember the only bad question is the one that does not get asked. We realize people ask questions about something they are not sure of that is why they ask. Yes they will sometimes get terms wrong.
