pot to controll on and off multiple led. between value?

[mikki1211]

hello, very new to programming and arduino.
i got the below scetch working fine, but what if i want to turn led1 on between 100-200
and led2 200 - 250? i need a "inbetween" value
and what about value being exactly 200 or 201?

const int sensorPin = A0;    // pin that the sensor is attached to
const int ledPin = 9;        // pin that the LED is attached to
const int ledPin1 = 10;
// variables:
int sensorValue = 0;         // the sensor value
int sensorMin = 1023;        // minimum sensor value
int sensorMax = 0;           // maximum sensor value

void setup() {
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(ledPin1, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  sensorValue = analogRead(sensorPin);
  sensorValue = map(sensorValue, sensorMin, sensorMax, 0, 255);
  sensorValue = constrain(sensorValue, 0, 255);
{
if(sensorValue < 200)// what can i write here? i need a between value? how do i do that?
    digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // turn on LED
  else
    digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);  // turn off LED
}
if(sensorValue > 200)
    digitalWrite(ledPin1, HIGH); // turn on LED
  else
    digitalWrite(ledPin1, LOW);  // turn off LED
}

if ((x > minValue) and (x < maxValue))

( How is this COVID-related?)

[mikki1211]

thank you so much =) so praud of myself for getting this tiny (may not be the best code) working.
one small victory for me, thank you =)

tbh it don*t have much to do with covid-19 but i could not figure out wich sub forum was the correct place.
(and yes ive read the newbie stickies)

const int sensorPin = A0;    // pin that the sensor is attached to
const int ledPin = 9;        // pin that the LED is attached to
const int ledPin1 = 10;
const int ledPin2 = 11;
const int ledPin3 = 12;
// variables:
int sensorValue = 0;         // the sensor value
int sensorMin = 1023;        // minimum sensor value
int sensorMax = 0;           // maximum sensor value

void setup() {
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(ledPin1, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(ledPin2, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(ledPin3, OUTPUT);
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() 
{
  {
  sensorValue = analogRead(sensorPin);
  sensorValue = map(sensorValue, sensorMin, sensorMax, 0, 255);
  sensorValue = constrain(sensorValue, 0, 255);
}
{
if ((50 < sensorValue) and (100 > sensorValue))  
    digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // turn on LED
  else
    digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);  // turn off LED
}
{
if ((100 < sensorValue) and (150 > sensorValue))  
    digitalWrite(ledPin1, HIGH); // turn on LED
  else
    digitalWrite(ledPin1, LOW);  // turn off LED
}
{
if ((150 < sensorValue) and (200 > sensorValue))  
    digitalWrite(ledPin2, HIGH); // turn on LED
  else
    digitalWrite(ledPin2, LOW);  // turn off LED
    }
{
if (200 < sensorValue) 
    digitalWrite(ledPin3, HIGH); // turn on LED
  else
    digitalWrite(ledPin3, LOW);  // turn off LED
    }
{
  Serial.println(sensorValue);
}
}

How to get the best out of this forum

See also FAQ - Arduino Forum for general rules on forum behaviour and etiquette. Hello, Welcome to the Arduino Forum. This guide explains how to get the best out of this forum. Please read and follow the instructions below. Being new here you might think this is having rules for the sake of rules, but that is not the case. If you don’t follow the guidelines all that happens is there is a long exchange of posts while we try to get you to tell us what we need in order to help you, which is fru…

It will help you get the best out of the forum in the future.

• Your OS and version can be valuable information, please include it along with extra security you are using.

• Always list the version of the IDE you are using and the board version if applicable.

• Use quote or add error messages as an attachment NOT a picture.

• How to insert an image into your post. ( Thanks @sterretje )

• Add your sketch where applicable but please use CODE TAGS ( </> )

• Add a SCHEMATIC were needed even if it is hand drawn

• Add working links to any specific hardware as needed (NOT links to similar items)

• Remember that the people trying to help cannot see your problem so give as much information as you can

COMMON ISSUES

• Ensure you have FULLY inserted the USB cables.

• Check you have a COMMON GROUND where required. ( Thanks @Perry)

• Where possible use USB 2.0 ports or a USB 2.0 POWERED HUB to rule out USB 3.0 issues.

• Try other computers where possible.

• Try other USB leads where possible.

• You may not have the correct driver installed. CH340/341 or CP2102 or FT232 VCP Drivers - FTDI

• There may be a problem with the board check or remove your wiring first.

• Remove any items connected to pins 0 and 1.

COMPUTER RELATED

• Close any other serial programs before opening the IDE.

• Ensure you turn off any additional security / antivirus just to test.

• There may be a problem with the PC try RESTARTING it.

• You may be selecting the wrong COM port.

• Avoid cloud/network based installations where possible OR ensure your Network/Cloud software is RUNNING.

• Clear your browsers CACHE.

• Close the IDE before using any other serial programs.

• Preferably install IDE’s as ADMINISTRATOR or your OS equivalent

ARDUINO SPECIFIC BOARDS

• CH340/341 based clones do not report useful information to the “get board info” button.

• NANO (Old Types) some require you to use the OLD BOOTLOADER option.

• NANO (ALL Types) See the specific sections lower in the forum.

• NANO (NEW Types) Install your board CORE’s.

• Unless using EXTERNAL PROGRAMMERS please leave the IDE selection at default “AVRISP mkII”.

• Boards using a MICRO usb connector need a cable that is both DATA and CHARGE. Many are CHARGE ONLY.

CREATE editor install locations.

• On macOs ~/Applications/ArduinoCreateAgent-1.1/ArduinoCreateAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/config.ini

• On Linux ~/ArduinoCreateAgent-1.1/config.ini

• On Windows C:\Users[your user]\AppData\Roaming\ArduinoCreateAgent-1.1

Performing the above actions may help resolve your problem without further help.

Thanks to all those who helped and added to this list.

Here is a way to include the values that are exactly 100, 150, and 200. Also you had a lot of extra braces creating unnecessary code blocks.

const int sensorPin = A0;    // pin that the sensor is attached to
const int ledPin = 9;        // pin that the LED is attached to
const int ledPin1 = 10;
const int ledPin2 = 11;
const int ledPin3 = 12;
// variables:
int sensorValue = 0;         // the sensor value
int sensorMin = 1023;        // minimum sensor value
int sensorMax = 0;           // maximum sensor value

void setup() {
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(ledPin1, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(ledPin2, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(ledPin3, OUTPUT);
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop()
{
  sensorValue = analogRead(sensorPin);
  sensorValue = map(sensorValue, sensorMin, sensorMax, 0, 255);
  sensorValue = constrain(sensorValue, 0, 255);
  
  if ((50 < sensorValue) and (100 >= sensorValue))
    digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // turn on LED
  else
    digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);  // turn off LED

  if ((100 < sensorValue) and (150 >= sensorValue))
    digitalWrite(ledPin1, HIGH); // turn on LED
  else
    digitalWrite(ledPin1, LOW);  // turn off LED

  if ((150 < sensorValue) and (200 >= sensorValue))
    digitalWrite(ledPin2, HIGH); // turn on LED
  else
    digitalWrite(ledPin2, LOW);  // turn off LED

  if (200 < sensorValue)
    digitalWrite(ledPin3, HIGH); // turn on LED
  else
    digitalWrite(ledPin3, LOW);  // turn off LED
 
  Serial.println(sensorValue);
}
