Hi All,
i have used some of my own code plus some examples out there to achieve:
- Read room temp (working)
- Display it on an LCD display (working)
- Change and RGB LED based on temp (working)
- Be able to put the above 3 in a suspended state, i.e. the code for it isnt running when the boolean is set to false. (not working)
in the debug screen i can see it sets the boolean to 0 for false and 1 for true. the problem is it resets back to 1/true on each loop and didnt set it to do that.
the debug screen prints:
TEMPRATURE = 22.95*C
Status: 1
debug screen when button to turn on and off are pressed:
for on
FFE21D
CH+
1
for off
FFA25D
CH-
0
so from that i can see it changes the boolean variable but then immediately after it sets back to default
Here is the code:
int redPin = 6; // set red rgb pin
int greenPin = 5; // set green rgb pin
int bluePin = 3; //set blue rgb pin
int val; // value variable for reading temprature
int tempPin = 0; // set therm pin
int infrapin=11; // set infrared reciever pin
boolean vrbStatus = true; // variable for system on or off
#include <IRremote.h>
#include <IRremoteInt.h>
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
LiquidCrystal lcd(9,8, 10, 4, 12, 13); // set pins for LCD display
IRrecv irrecv(infrapin);
decode_results results;
void setup() {
pinMode(redPin, OUTPUT); // set red pin as output
pinMode(greenPin, OUTPUT); // set green pin as output
pinMode(bluePin, OUTPUT); // set bluepin as output
lcd.begin(16, 2); // declare LCD columns and rows
lcd.print("Current Temp:"); // Statis message on top row of LCD
Serial.begin(9600); // start serial for data
irrecv.enableIRIn(); // Start the infrared receiver
}
void loop() {
if (irrecv.decode(&results)) // have we received an IR signal?
{
Serial.println(results.value, HEX);
translateIR();
irrecv.resume(); // receive the next value
}
if (vrbStatus = false)
{
Serial.println("System Suspended");
Serial.println(vrbStatus);
}
else if (vrbStatus = true)
{
switchedon();
}
}
/*-----( Declare User-written Functions )-----*/
void translateIR() // takes action based on IR code received
// describing Car MP3 IR codes
{
switch(results.value)
{

delay(500);

// code for proper RGB control using variables. (need to look into fade)
void setColor(int red, int green, int blue)

float mv = ( val/1024.0)*5000;
//float mv = ( 5*val*100/1024 );
float cel = mv/10;
float farh = (cel*9)/5 + 32;
// Print Temp to Serial for Debugging
Serial.print("TEMPRATURE = ");
Serial.print(cel);
Serial.print("*C");
Serial.println();
Serial.print("Status: ");
Serial.print(vrbStatus);
Serial.println();
delay(100);
//Set and Print to LCD Display
lcd.setCursor(0, 1);
lcd.print(cel);
lcd.print(" Degrees");
if (cel < 20) // check if less than 20 degrees
{
//Set Blue
setColor(0, 0, 255); // blue
}
else if (cel > 23) // check if over 23 degrees
{
//Set Red
setColor(255, 0, 0); // red
}
else
//Green for between 20 and 23 degrees (indicating optimal temp)
setColor(0, 255, 0); // green
}
i would appreciate any help or guidance.
Many Thanks
Paul
