Serial printing change the value that i get

Projects Programming

That is interesting but , when i counting a x variable , it gives wrong values. But when i add a serialprintln(x) , it is giving me normal values. Without serialprint , x counts unstable. Sometimes slow sometimes fast. ::slight_smile:
Same thing for the ultrasonic sensor. I have to print distance to get normal values.

Is always serial print harmful for Arduino? Because i will plug an adaptor to work Arduino and it will work maybe months like that.

""here is my code. just a part because it is too long if its neccessary i can share. I can calculate the time between two cycle. I tried to use millis for eveywhere but my sensor goes crazy after that. So i count "x" and divide it to 160 in order to find a second .
I fixed the ultrasonic sensor by adding these :-
interval = 2 + (eventtime1 - eventtime2) / 1000;
timerRunning = 1;
-: inside if(y<40) -
they were inside if (timerRunning == 0 && distance < 10) this before.

but my counter x is still doesnt work right.

We really need to see your code in order to help you.
