I posted in project guidence with not much luck and was hoping someone could help me here in programming since thats what i need help in.
First off i want to recieve alerts when a set of contacts close. Rather it be for ac fail, generator run or what have u.
I see the uno r3 has 6 inputs and would like to program each one to alert me thru pushing box upon closure of a contact. I want to
Be able to tell wat each contact is from pushingbox.
Can this be done?
Yes, digitalRead can read the state of a pin. If you looped your code, you could detect when the state changes.
Interrupts are another way of interrupting your program and telling it there has been input received from an external source.
It can be done, but for now, you should just peruse the provided samples and learn more about the arduino ( more than 6 inputs, just 6 of the digital pins can act as analogue inputs ), maybe recreate your idea as a simple 'proof of concept' using led's and push buttons.
