Hi
I'm trying to make a temperature sensing textile with a lilypad simplesnap, lilypad temperature sensor and 3 leds. When I prototyped it I had the + side of the leds on 9, 10 and 11 and - connected to - , and this worked. However when I came to sew it, that meant 4 threads (including the sensor) going to one connection and I was worried about shorts. So I connected the - on the first led to minus on the lilypad and the + on the led to 5. The other leds are + to +, and minus to 9 and 11. Here is the code:
float temp,tempAvg, tempA;
long previousMillis = 0;
long interval = 2000;
int count = 0;
int ledPin1 = 5; //put the LED light on pin 5
int ledPin2 = 9; //put the LED light on pin 9
int ledPin3 = 11; //put the LED light on pin 11
/*int positivePin = A5; //setting A5 to be a positive pin.*/
int brightness1 = 15; // how bright the LED is
int fadeAmount1 = 5; // how many points to fade the LED by
int brightness2 = 25; // how bright the LED is
int fadeAmount2 = 5; // how many points to fade the LED by
int brightness3 = 45; // how bright the LED is
int fadeAmount3 = 5; // how many points to fade the LED by
void setup() {
Serial.begin(57600);
pinMode(ledPin1, OUTPUT); //Setting LED 1 (lightPin1) to be an output. Ditto for each of the other LEDs
pinMode(ledPin2, OUTPUT);
pinMode(ledPin3, OUTPUT);
};
void loop () {
unsigned long currentMillis = millis();
if(currentMillis - previousMillis > interval) {
temp = analogRead(A5)*5/1024.0;
temp = temp - 0.5;
temp = temp / 0.01;
Serial.print("temp: ");
Serial.println(temp);
//tempAvg = tempAvg + temp;
//count++;
//if (count > 7) {
// tempA = tempA - temp;
// count = 0;
//}
//
//tempA = tempAvg/8.;
//
// Serial.print("tempA: ");
// Serial.println(tempA);
previousMillis = currentMillis;
}
if ((temp >= 25.0) && (temp < 32.0)) {
// set the brightness of all three LEDS:
analogWrite(ledPin1, max(brightness1, 0));
analogWrite(ledPin2, max(brightness2, 0));
analogWrite(ledPin3, max(brightness3, 0));
// change the brightness for next time through the loop:
brightness1 = brightness1 + fadeAmount1;
brightness2 = brightness2 + fadeAmount2;
brightness3 = brightness3 + fadeAmount3;
} else if ((temp >= 20.0) && (temp < 25.0)) {
// do something else
void loop();
digitalWrite(ledPin1, HIGH); // sets the LED on
delay(1000); // waits for a second
digitalWrite(ledPin1, LOW); // sets the LED off
delay(1000); // waits for a second
digitalWrite(ledPin2, HIGH); // sets the LED on
delay(1000); // waits for a second
digitalWrite(ledPin2, LOW); // sets the LED off
delay(1000); // waits for a second
digitalWrite(ledPin2, HIGH); // sets the LED on
delay(1000); // waits for a second
digitalWrite(ledPin2, LOW); // sets the LED off
delay(1000); // waits for a second
}
else ((temp >= 25.0) && (temp < 32.0)); {
// do something else
void loop();
digitalWrite(ledPin1, HIGH); // sets the LED on all the time
digitalWrite(ledPin2, HIGH); // sets the LED on all the time
digitalWrite(ledPin3, HIGH); // sets the LED on all the time
}
delay(500);
};
The led on 5 is on all the time and the other ones just blink. Should I have put all the leds + to + and _ to pins 5,9,11? Or is there something else going on? The temperature sensor serial monitor is fine.
Thanks
