Hi all. I am very new to this. I am trying to read data from sensor on pin A1 and time stamp data with RTC and send to SD. Here is my code
#include <SPI.h>
#include <SD.h>
#include <Wire.h>
#include "RTClib.h"
// A simple data logger for the Arduino analog pins
// how many milliseconds between grabbing data and logging it. 1000 ms is once a second
#define LOG_INTERVAL 10000 // mills between entries (reduce to take more/faster data)
// how many milliseconds before writing the logged data permanently to disk
// set it to the LOG_INTERVAL to write each time (safest)
// set it to 10*LOG_INTERVAL to write all data every 10 datareads, you could lose up to
// the last 10 reads if power is lost but it uses less power and is much faster!
#define SYNC_INTERVAL 10000 // mills between calls to flush() - to write data to the card
uint32_t syncTime = 0; // time of last sync()
#define ECHO_TO_SERIAL 1 // echo data to serial port
#define WAIT_TO_START 0 // Wait for serial input in setup()
// The analog pins that connect to the sensors
#define Voltage A1 // analog 1
RTC_DS1307 RTC; // define the Real Time Clock object
// for the data logging shield, we use digital pin 10 for the SD cs line
const int chipSelect = 10;
// the logging file
File logfile;
void error(char *str)
{
Serial.print("error: ");
Serial.println(str);
while(1);
}
void setup(void)
{
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println();
#if WAIT_TO_START
Serial.println("Type any character to start");
while (!Serial.available());
#endif //WAIT_TO_START
// initialize the SD card
Serial.print("Initializing SD card...");
// make sure that the default chip select pin is set to
// output, even if you don't use it:
pinMode(10, OUTPUT);
// see if the card is present and can be initialized:
if (!SD.begin(chipSelect)) {
error("Card failed, or not present");
}
Serial.println("card initialized.");
// create a new file
char filename[] = "LOGGER00.CSV";
for (uint8_t i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
filename[6] = i/10 + '0';
filename[7] = i%10 + '0';
if (! SD.exists(filename)) {
// only open a new file if it doesn't exist
logfile = SD.open(filename, FILE_WRITE);
break; // leave the loop!
}
}
if (! logfile) {
error("couldnt create file");
}
Serial.print("Logging to: ");
Serial.println(filename);
// connect to RTC
Wire.begin();
if (!RTC.begin()) {
logfile.println("RTC failed");
#if ECHO_TO_SERIAL
Serial.println("RTC failed");
#endif //ECHO_TO_SERIAL
}
logfile.println("millis,stamp,datetime,voltage");
#if ECHO_TO_SERIAL
Serial.println("millis,stamp,datetime,voltage");
#endif //ECHO_TO_SERIAL
}
void loop(void)
{
DateTime now;
// delay for the amount of time we want between readings
delay((LOG_INTERVAL -1) - (millis() % LOG_INTERVAL));
// log milliseconds since starting
uint32_t m = millis();
logfile.print(m); // milliseconds since start
logfile.print(", ");
#if ECHO_TO_SERIAL
Serial.print(m); // milliseconds since start
Serial.print(", ");
#endif
// fetch the time
now = RTC.now();
// log time
logfile.print(now.unixtime()); // seconds since 1/1/1970
logfile.print(", ");
logfile.print('"');
logfile.print(now.year(), DEC);
logfile.print("/");
logfile.print(now.month(), DEC);
logfile.print("/");
logfile.print(now.day(), DEC);
logfile.print(" ");
logfile.print(now.hour(), DEC);
logfile.print(":");
logfile.print(now.minute(), DEC);
logfile.print(":");
logfile.print(now.second(), DEC);
logfile.print('"');
#if ECHO_TO_SERIAL

Serial.print(":");

Serial.print(":");
Serial.print(now.second(), DEC);
Serial.print('"');
#endif //ECHO_TO_SERIAL
analogRead(Voltage);
delay(10);
int tempReading = analogRead(Voltage);
// converting that reading to voltage, for 3.3v arduino use 3.3, for 5.0, use 5.0
// float voltage = tempReading * aref_voltage / 1024;
float voltage = tempReading * (5.0 / 1023.0);
logfile.print(", ");
logfile.print(voltage);
#if ECHO_TO_SERIAL
Serial.print(", ");
Serial.print(voltage);
#endif //ECHO_TO_SERIAL
// Now we write data to disk! Don't sync too often - requires 2048 bytes of I/O to SD card
// which uses a bunch of power and takes time
if ((millis() - syncTime) < SYNC_INTERVAL) return;
syncTime = millis();
}
It is showing the correct voltage reading and time in the serial monitor every 10 seconds and it is creating a file on the SD card but it is not actually writing any data into the file. When I open the file it is blank. Thankyou for any help!
