Generating multiple frequencies using the MiniGen

Projects Programming
1

I am new to Arduino and I am trying to use the signal generator shield MiniGen (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11420, GitHub - sparkfun/MiniGen: Arduino Pro Mini shield using AD9837 to provide a small footprint signal generator.) to output AC signal. I am trying to control the board with a switch, so that when it is flipped the MiniGen will output a low frequency for 10 seconds and then a high frequency for 10 seconds.

So far, this works:

#include <SparkFun_MiniGen.h>
#include <SPI.h>

MiniGen gen;
int switchState1 = 0;


void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
  gen = MiniGen(10);
  gen.reset();
  delay(2000);

  gen.setMode(MiniGen::SINE);
  gen.setFreqAdjustMode(MiniGen::FULL);
  gen.selectPhaseReg(MiniGen::PHASE0);

  pinMode(9, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(2, INPUT);
}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
    switchState1 = digitalRead(2);

    if (switchState1 == 1){

        static float frequency = 5.0;
        unsigned long freqReg = gen.freqCalc(frequency);
        gen.adjustFreq(MiniGen::FREQ0, freqReg);

      
    }
    

     
}

However, this does not:

#include <SparkFun_MiniGen.h>
#include <SPI.h>

MiniGen gen;
int switchState1 = 0;
unsigned long startMillis;
unsigned long currentMillis;
unsigned long previousMillis;

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
  gen = MiniGen(10);
  gen.reset();
  delay(2000);

  gen.setMode(MiniGen::SINE);
  gen.setFreqAdjustMode(MiniGen::FULL);
  gen.selectPhaseReg(MiniGen::PHASE0);

  pinMode(9, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(2, INPUT);
  previousMillis = millis();
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
  switchState1 = digitalRead(2);
  currentMillis = millis();
  lowFreq();
  currentMillis = millis();
  highFreq();
  Serial.println(currentMillis);
}


void lowFreq() {
  //
  if (switchState1 == 1) {
    if (currentMillis - previousMillis < (10000)) {
      static float frequency = 5.0;
      unsigned long freqReg = gen.freqCalc(frequency);
      gen.adjustFreq(MiniGen::FREQ0, freqReg);
      currentMillis = millis();

    }
  }
}

void highFreq() {
  if (switchState1 == 1) {

    if (currentMillis - previousMillis < (20000)) {
      static float frequency = 15.0;
      unsigned long freqReg = gen.freqCalc(frequency);
      gen.adjustFreq(MiniGen::FREQ0, freqReg);
      previousMillis += 20000;
    }


  }

}

I've gone through the examples using millis(), but I am having trouble implementing it here. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

What do your debug prints tell you is happening?

Why not?
