Read analog input with interruption

[lordjota]

Hi !

I have a problem with the Analog input. I want to build a Arduino audio input (https://www.instructables.com/Arduino-Audio-Input/) but, i want the controller some parameters with using a potentiometer with the analog input.

I used the code in PedalShield Electrosmashb prototype .

// [www.Electrosmash.com/rights](http://www.electrosmash.com/rights) CC-by-NC

//defining hardware resources.
#define LED 13
#define FOOTSWITCH 12
#define TOGGLE 2
#define PUSHBUTTON_1 A5
#define PUSHBUTTON_2 A4

//defining the output PWM parameters
#define PWM_FREQ 0x00FF // pwm frequency - 31.3KHz
#define PWM_MODE 0 // Fast (1) or Phase Correct (0)
#define PWM_QTY 2 // 2 PWMs in parallel

//other variables
int input;
unsigned int ADC_low, ADC_high;

void setup() {
//setup IO
pinMode(FOOTSWITCH, INPUT_PULLUP);
pinMode(TOGGLE, INPUT_PULLUP);
pinMode(PUSHBUTTON_1, INPUT_PULLUP);
pinMode(PUSHBUTTON_2, INPUT_PULLUP);
pinMode(LED, OUTPUT);
pinMode(6, OUTPUT); //PWM0 as output
pinMode(7, OUTPUT); //PWM1 as output

// setup ADC
ADMUX = 0x60; // left adjust, adc0, internal vcc
ADCSRA = 0xe5; // turn on adc, ck/32, auto trigger
ADCSRB = 0x00; //free running mode
DIDR0 = 0x01; // turn off digital inputs for adc0

// setup PWM
TCCR4A = (((PWM_QTY - 1) << 5) | 0x80 | (PWM_MODE << 1)); //
TCCR4B = ((PWM_MODE << 3) | 0x11); // ck/1
TIMSK4 = 0x20; // interrupt on capture interrupt
ICR4H = (PWM_FREQ >> ![8)|20x20])
ICR4L = (PWM_FREQ & 0xff);
DDRB |= ((PWM_QTY << 1) | 0x02); // turn on outputs
sei(); // turn on interrupts - not really necessary with arduino
}

void loop()
{
//Turn on the LED and write the OLED if the effect is ON.
if (digitalRead(FOOTSWITCH))
digitalWrite(LED, HIGH); //light the LED
else
digitalWrite(LED, LOW); // switch-off the LED
}

ISR(TIMER4_CAPT_vect)
{
// get ADC data
ADC_low = ADCL; // you need to fetch the low byte first
ADC_high = ADCH;
//construct the input sumple summing the ADC low and high byte.
input = ((ADC_high << ![8)|20x20]| ADC_low) + 0x8000; // make a signed 16b value

/**********************************************/
/** READ THE A1 , A2 AND A3 PIN */
/**********************************************/

//write the PWM signal
OCR4AL = ((input + 0x8000) >> ![8)|20x20](https://www.electrosmash.com/media/kunena/emoticons/cool.png "8)"); // convert to unsigned, send out high byte
OCR4BL = input; // send out low byte
}

I am conected the potentiometer in the A1, A2 and A3 input.

The question is... How can read the value in the potentiometer ?? Because i cannot used the analogRead function.... Can??

Thanks in advance

Jota

The problem is you have copied down someone’s code , but I suspect don’t understand it .
This is fraught with problems .

There are examples for analog signals in the IDE .
I don’t really understand what you really want to do , or what your project is about from your post .

Of course you can use the analogRead() function. People have been using it for more than a decade. Why didn't you even try?

Also, if you are guessing at how to connect the potentiometers and it doesn't work, please post a diagram of your connection. Whenever you get around to working on your project...

Hi

Thanks for the fast answer . I will explained my project.

I want to used the Arduino with a guitar pedal effects. I used this project https://www.electrosmash.com/pedalshield-uno . I built a PCB board, but i added 3 potentiometer in the pins A1, A2, and A3 for read this values and change the parameters in the guitar effects.

I used this schematic for built the pcb

My modification is added the 3 potentiometer in the pins A1, A2 and A3.

The pcb worked. If I up the code, i have the sound, and the project work. What is the problem? When I try to read the A1 with analogRead the project doesnot work, and i havent effect sound.

Then , i think that when i used the interruption for read the analog pins A0 (this pin received the audio signal ) i cannot used the analogRead for the A1 ...

This is my problem..

Then, i want to understand how can built it for get the sound in the A0 pin, and read the value in the A1 pin ..

Thanks for the help me

You used words instead of diagrams to show how the potentiometers are connected. Please add diagrams.

HI

This is the pots schema

Thanks !

The Arduino only has a single ADC, you cannot use it for reading potentiometer values while sampling audio simultaneously.

Why are you reading the ADC result in a timer interrupt? Why not in the ADC interrupt?

@lordjota

OCR4AL = ((input + 0x8000) >> ![8)|20x20](https://www.electrosmash.com/media/kunena/emoticons/cool.png "8)"); // convert to unsigned, send out high byte

How do you parse this?
