Writing code for my elevator simulator project

Projects Programming

I am currently writing an elevator simulator code for a project that I am making, I ended up getting a bit of help for how to set the code up. The issue is, I don't know what I am doing. Any help will be appreciated

Here is the code that I am writing

int CurrentPos = 1; // Starting Position of the elevator
int Calls[] = {0,0,0,0}; // Call Button Data Storage **DO NOT MESS WITH!!**
int NextFloor = 1;
int Directions = 0; //0 = down, 1 = n 2 = up
int TRAVEL_TIME = 2000;
const int Buttons[] = {2,3,4,5}; //Button Pin Reference
const int PressedLED[] = {6,7,8,9}; // Button LED Reference
const int MovingLED[] = {10,11,12,13};

void setup() {
 //Button Input Setup
for (int i = 0; i = 3; i++){
 pinMode (Buttons[i], INPUT_PULLUP);
}
//Pressed LED Setup
for (int i = 0; i = 3; i++){
 pinMode(PressedLED[i], OUTPUT);
}
//Moving LED Setup
for (i = 0l i = 3; i++){
 pinMode(MovingLED[i], OUTPUT);
}
}

void loop() {
//Are there any calls?
 //Ifbutton 1,2,3,4
   //Calls[button -1] =1
   //Button LED

   //What floor to next
     //Cur = next
       //Get next floor based on Calls

//If traveling for the first time
 //counter = 0;
//else not 
 //counter++

//If counter = TAVEL TIME
 //counter =0
 //curent possition to +/- 1 floor based on direction

}

Then the solution is a flow chart or logic diagram showing what you want to do and the decisions necessary to make it all work.

In setup(), you can perform all those config actions within a single for() structure.

Otherwise, remember that = is the assignment operator, == is for comparison.

Elevators are a popular project that we see here often. A search of this site should show what others have done.

We don't either, although we could guess you have a single elevator car serving four floors.

Regular elevators have buttons for going up and down.

So maybe say a bit about how you want your elevator to work, or appear to be working.

After some tweaking, I managed to get it working, but there are a few things I want to add

Cool.

It could not hurt to post the best current version you have so we could play elevator.

First of all you should add the "chrystal ball"-module to your µC that can beam pictures of your imagination into the forum-members head to understand what you want to add.

Oh you don't know where to buy the "chrystal ball"-module ??
Me not either! :wink:
So maybe describing in detail what functionality you want to add is a good solution.

best regards Stefan
