Hello all,
I'm having trouble to put together 2 codes from 2 different shields... I have an arduino Duemilanove, a datalogger from adafruit and a 32 analogue shield from critical velocity.
the question is how to combine the two standard code in one!
I'm a beginner in arduino but know my electronics! Coding is not my best part but eager to learn from anyone!
here is the part from the "monstermux 32ch analogue shield";
[color=red]/* MonsterMux32 Demo Code
Critical Velocity 2009
This code selects an analog channel and prints the value to the serial port.
For more information, visit www.criticalvelocity.com/mmux32
*/
int sensorValue;
char muxch = 23; // change this to the channel number you wish to read.
void setup() {
// These 6 pins control which analog channel is connected to the Analog Input 0 on the Arduino.
pinMode(8, OUTPUT);
pinMode(9, OUTPUT);
pinMode(10, OUTPUT);
pinMode(11, OUTPUT);
pinMode(12, OUTPUT);
pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
// read the value from the sensor:
set_mux(muxch);
// Analog 0 is now connected to input set by muxch.
sensorValue = analogRead(0);
Serial.println(sensorValue);
delay(10);
}
// The following function selects the channel to be read.
// using PORTB directly is not really recommended for the Arduino environment.
// Feel free to modify the code to avoid direct writes to PORTB.
void set_mux(char channel) {
// sets mux to read selected channel.
if (channel < 32) {
// valid channels are 0-31
PORTB = (PORTB & 0xC0) | channel;
}
}

and here the code from the datalogger;

// how many milliseconds before writing the logged data permanently to disk
// set it to the LOG_INTERVAL to write each time (safest)
// set it to 10*LOG_INTERVAL to write all data every 10 datareads, you could lose up to
// the last 10 reads if power is lost but it uses less power and is much faster!

I tried a few things like combining the void setup and replacing the two void loop by naming them void loop_code 1(); and void loop_code2();
this was not working for me and many errors appeared!
by the way: the code for the light sensor and temperature does not have tobe in there, I want to have a blank shield where I can just put my analogue inputs into it.
My goal is to use this datalogger for monitoring many K-type thermocouples using the AD595 thermocouple chip!
Please, if there's anyone who can help it's very much appreciated!
thank's
