C/C++ :: Comparing Time-based-responses From Two IR Sensors (Arduino)
Apr 9, 2015
I am building a project with an Arduino Uno that involves using analogue IR sensors to detect fast motion. By placing one sensor on top of the other, I want to be able to attain a variable integer from the difference in time between the responses of the sensors.
Here is my code I have so far, it is essentially for detecting motion for 1 sensor and then converting it into a MIDI note depending on how far away the motion is detected. There is also a part which compares the value from the previous time so that only above a certain amount of movement will trigger the note. I also have a variable delay to be controlled by a potentiometer.
Here is the datasheet for the sensors I'm using.
#include <MIDI.h>
MIDI_CREATE_DEFAULT_INSTANCE();
int currentvalA = 0; //current sensor A value
int previousvalA = 0; //previous sensor A value
int valA = 0; // value to store sensor
const int valchangeA = 40; //motion change value
int del = 0; //variable delay value

So I'm trying to learn how to use time for time based movement and what not. I did this only knowing the command time(&variable)
time_t timer;
int I, X;
void main() {
time(&timer);
X=timer;
while(I==5) {
[Code] ......
There's probably some other better way to do it... Obviously but for now I see it as putting current time in X.
start while
take in time constantly until I is 5
constantly asking is time>X(preset time 5 seconds ahead)
if it is
display message and add one to I
Why doesn't this display my message after 5 seconds?

I'm trying to figure out how to insert a node into a linked list at a particular location based on a time..I have this declared outside of everything globally.
Code:
struct aTime {
char name[LENGTH];
int time;
struct aTime* next;
};
struct aTime* head = NULL; And then this function that is used to add nodes (aTime structs) to a linked list. It adds the first node fine, but not subsequent ones. I think this is because I have while p-> != NULL but it is always going to be null when the function is called since I create a new aTime struct. So I guess my question is how, after one struct has been added at the beginning, do I point to the head node and traverse the list, insert a node, and make sure everything is still linked? Do I need another temp aTime struct?
Code:
void add_time(char name[LENGTH], int seconds)
{
struct aTime *p;
p = (struct aTime *) malloc(sizeof(struct aTime));
if (head == NULL)
{
strcpy(p->name, name);
p->seconds = seconds;
}

how to pass a string from vb6 into the gsm module ... i am posting vb6 code ... below code passes
check1.caption=11BNELE0455 to MSCOMM2.output...
Static col As Integer
col = 3
lbl: If excelws.Cells(10, col).Value = "" Then
excelws.Cells(9, col).Value = Format(Now, "dd/mm/yyyy")
If (check1.Value = 1) And (Timer1.Enabled = True) Then
excelws.Cells(10, 1).Value = check1.Caption
[Code]...
now i want to access this string a=0455 from c-code of arduino..how can i access this.. below is c-code for arduino uno.what is wrong with it.it is giving me error:invalid conversion from 'int' to 'const char*'.
//decalaration part of my code
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
char inchar[80][5]; // Will hold the incoming character from the GSMshield

I am trying to implement same thing as given in following images:
i m working on "Wireless surveillance system using zigbee".
But i want to add external PIR motion sensor and wireless zigbee module with Arduino.
The images are stored in SD card. but my goal is when the PIR detects any motion the image should be stored in memory card (Done in attached code)and then that image should be transferred through zigbee (Zigbee Tx is connected with Rx Pin0 and zigbee Rx is connected with Tx Pin1). PIR sensor output is connected with Pin7 of arduino.
So what are the additions/modifications do i require for transmitting image on Pin1 in following code.
I am using this code
Code:
// This is a motion-detect camera sketch using the Adafruit VC0706 library.
// On start, the Arduino will find the camera and SD card and turn
// on motion detection. If motion is detected, the camera will
// snap a photo, saving it to the SD card.
#include <Adafruit_VC0706.h>
#include <SD.h>

Okay so this is part of a small uni module around the arduino board. The task is to simulate traffic lights at a junction. At the moment my code below runs through the sequence with 2 seperate lights. When one set of lights turns RED , the other turns GREEN.In my main loop method I need to add a button for a crossing. I want to be able to check if the button is pressed at each of the delays but do not want to have to hold it down.I have thought about putting it at the top of the loop but then the program will only check if button is pressed in that point therefore the user will have to hold it down?
Code:
int green1 = 13 ;
int amber1 = 12 ;
int red1 = 11 ;
int green2 = 6 ;
int amber2 = 7 ;
int red2 = 8 ;
}

I know how to create your basic programm that compiles as a CLI or exports and/or saves data to a .txt file... But how does one build a GUI?
I ask because I am currently working on a programm for my Arduino controlled robot, in which I want to have a virtual on screen controller next to a map of my bots path.

I am working on a project that requires using an arduino microcontroller to control the motion of a servo motor. The arduino language is pretty much C.
The original code is of the form:
Code:
#include <Servo.h>
Servo myservo; // create servo object to control a servo
// a maximum of eight servo objects can be created
int pos = 0; // variable to store the servo position
[Code] .....
But the problem is I don't want the motor's motion to behave linearly (constant increments of the pos variable). My desired motion is a sinusoidal like function. How to approach this?
I am quite new to programming, especially with microcontrollers. My guess is that instead of the pos+=1, I would need something like pos+=sin(argument). I am not sure what that argument should be.

At the moment im trying out with pointing to an array of functions. I got this working as following:
typedef void (* functionPtr) ();
functionPtr functions[2][2]={{do11,do12}, {do21,do22}};
void do11(){DEBUG_PRINTLN("11");}
void do12(){DEBUG_PRINTLN("12");}
void do21(){DEBUG_PRINTLN("21");}
void do22(){DEBUG_PRINTLN("22");}
void loop(){
A=0;
B=1;
functions[A][b]();
}
But now I'm trying to use this to point to a function inside a class so instead of do11, i want to be able to point to Basic.Do11. Somehow this doesnt work and I keep on getting this message:
error: argument of type 'void (Basic::)()' does not match 'void (*)()'

This is a round robin execution. with gantt chart. arrival time and burst time. I think there is an error in my formula to get the right answer,i cant resolve it but my program is running. What is the code or the right formula??
#include<stdio.h>
int main(){
int i,j=0,n,time,remain,flag=0,ts;
int sum_wait=0,sum_turnaround=0,at[10],bt[10],rt[10];
int ganttP[50],ganttStartTime[50];
printf("Enter no of Processes : ");
scanf("%d",&n);

I'm a novice with C programming and i have to solve an error in the following code. The code works like you enter a password called "uoc" and it shows as OK. But surprisely when you entered another password as "Cambridge" it works fine too.
I think that the problem is in the array declaration but i'm checking resources and no success!
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
struct {
char str[8];
char ok;
} data;

Given this code
Code:
double x=1.00,y=2,z=4;
if (y/z||++x)
x+=y/z;
printf("%f
",x); So (y/z||++x)
is true if at least one expression is true, that is either (y/z)!=0 or (++x)!=0 or both. I wonder how the comparison is done? Is (y/z) be truncated to integer or 0 be promoted to double?

I am trying to make a game where you have a secret code that is coded with colors like ROYG (red,orange,yellow,green) and I am having trouble when it tells you when you have a right color in the right spot or a right color in the wrong spot when you guess a color. How can I change my code under the function int comparearray where it will compare pointers to pointers and not integers and give me the correct number of "almost" and "correct".
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#define ROWS 100
#define COLS 4

I created a function to check whether the first character of a string is a number or not by comparing it to every base 10 digit using a for loop. If it is, the string is valid, if it is not, the string is not valid
Code:
//ensure the first character is not a number
int ValidFirstChar(char FirstChar) {
int IsChar = TRUE, DigitCount = 0; /*boolean value indicating whether the first character is a number or not.*/
//check through all base 10 digits
for (DigitCount = 0; DigitCount <= 9; DigitCount++) {
if ((int)FirstChar == DigitCount)
[Code] ....
I have checked for the case where the first character is a number but it is displaying the error message for it. I have tried typecasting the char variable but that has not worked.

my problem is naming the function larger() with "int". At least that is what my compiler is leading me to believe.

If I have 2 arrays, say array1 = {2, 2, 4, 5, 6} which has sorted array elements and array2 = {4, 2, 6, 2, 5} that has same elements as array1 but not in sorted condition. How can I compare that both arrays have same elements. I have written the following code which works in all conditions except when array1 has two same elements and array2 has all different elements.
counter=0;
for (i=0; i<5; i++) {
for (int j=0; j<5; j++)
if (array2[i] == array1[j]) {
counter++;
array1[j]=0;

I have trouble comparing two strings with strcmp. The bold part of the code are the parts that are not working and i hope somebody can explain to me what i did wrong. Goal of the code is to compare a city name with the name of already created cities and when two of them match to creat a Street between them. Depending on the street pointer different streets can be created
my vector containing all already created cities (it seem to work)
std::vector<city*> citylist;//all cities
find city using strings and creating a road between them:
bool Map::add_street(Street *street, const string firsttown , const string secondtown) {
city* hilfs1=Map::find_city(erste);
city* hilfs2=Map::find_city( zweite);
if (hilfs1==NULL || hilfs2==NULL)
{return false ;} // Problem :both pointers are always NULL
[Code] ....
Here is also my implementation of the getname function :
std::string city::getname() {
return this->name;
}

i have 3 arrays total, 2 of them i am comparing to see if any of the values match at all, and then i am putting the value that matches into the 3rd array. currently i am trying
int isthere (int match[], int maxmatchLength,
const int vec1[], int vec1Length,
const int vec2[], int vec2Length)
{
for (i=0; i<vec1Length; i++)
if vec1[i]==vec2[i];
vec1[i] = match[i];
}
But this will just match the same values are in the same spot. how do i fix it so that it compares one value in the first array to the whole second array, before going to the next number.

Lets say for example I have a BST that is sorted by char names, using strcmp. IF greater than 0 go right else go left.
I.E (this is just an example, they are not inserted correctly)
cat
/
dog buffalo
/ /
fish mouse zebra snake
I wanted to make a copy of this BST IF the length of the nodes are greater than the root, how would I approach this? I kinda started on this but I'm not sure if I'm making this more difficult than it should be.
void BST::copygreater(node * root, node *& dest, int & holder) {
if(!root) {
dest = NULL;
return;
}
holder = strlen(root->name) + 1; //Don't know about this? If we do a recursive call then the value would change every call?
