My setup is an Arudino with a Wifi shield connected to a Grove shield:
My sketch basically does:
setup() - call an alarm every 30 minutes & wdt_enable(WDTO_8S)
loop() - wdt_reset() & test condition if flag isSet and timelapse > certain value... then call SampleUV, connect to wifi & report to cloud.
SampleUV is actually a concatenated call where SampleUVAlarm samples UV and then calls SampleMQ2Alarm (which samples MQ2) & calls printCO2 (which samples CO2 & temp).
So this sampling processes gets fired by the loop() test for the flag & timestamp. If true, loop() calls SampleUVAlarm (takes about 1 second), SampleMQ2Alarm (takes about 2 seconds) and printCO2()-dataReceive() (take about 3 seconds). So this the whole sampling process may take about 5-7seconds.
Then comes a pat and wifiStuff() gets called, this takes no more than about 5 seconds, and another pat.
Finally reportToCloud() opens the site, takes the int variables and converts them to string, concatenates them into a data var, resets all data vars to 0, posts the data string to the website & closes.
The box with the CO2-Temp sensor and the UV sensor sticks out of my wall. Its not the best place since it only gets direct UV light ~11-12pm noon. But let's assume this is what I want, since UV radiation is strongest at midday anyway.
UV readings are off because I would expect readings to be around 5000-8000-11000 at midday. Im only getting around 1200 and 1600 at midday. And Im getting some false spikes at midnight and 3am for example, of 1500 and 1600.
What Im looking for is a problem with my code. To see if garbage data can be getting in there or if the way I've wired it has anything to do with the issue?
