Hello everybody! I am writing a program that simply calculates the time between two successive triggers of the Infrared Sensor.
When I open the serial, it shows me the results of program's running. After a period of time (~30 sec), serial stops logging and program "stops".
I have to press the reset button on Arduino's board to re-run the program. What causes the issue? I can't find a solution on what's is going on. The program is simply enough.
Here is the code I use:
int IRPin = 7;
int a1, a2, jump = 0;
void setup(void) {
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop(void) {
if(jump==0){
Serial.println("When ready, jump!");
jump = 1;
}
if (digitalRead(IRPin)==1 && a1==0)
{
a1 = millis();
Serial.println("On air...");
}
if (digitalRead(IRPin)==0 && a1>0)
{
a2 = millis() - a1;
Serial.print("Total time: ");
Serial.print(a2);
Serial.println(" msec");
a1 = a2 = jump = 0;
}
}
Also, this is the sensor I use!
