  One Chip Many Programs 

  Using as DIP switch like below is common/traditional way to active/deactivate different programs or features on your program.   Flipping one of these switches ON or OFF can give Power or Ground to a PIN of a microchip.  If you use the Boolean Logic on the Arduino, you can then “active/deactivate different programs or features” in your greater program.  DIP switches like these are usually not “user facing”, they are typically for an engineer or technican to use, like in a TV cable box to turn on/off premium channels, for example.  But sometimes these switches are user facing in a number of off-the-shelf thermostats for example.

  When you put “jumper wires” in your last project, they were to emulate this types of circuit switches. You find them useful as your projects get more complex and may have different types of users that your one device needs to work for.

  I had to use if statements to make the switch wires work, then I used switch statements for each of the interactions.

  Code after the jump.

  (More …)

  Switch case sound performance toy…work in progress 

  So, I am completely confused by the wires to switch states…..What I have now grabs each case and will use the speaker and the LED in the exact state its in when I press a number….

   and here’s the code:

   

  int speakerPin= 7;
  int ledPin = 3;
  int sensorPin = 5;
  int potPin = 0;

  int sensorVal;
  int potVal;
  int LEDbrightness;
  int toneChange;
  int sensorTime;

  void setup()
  {
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
  Serial.begin(9600);
  }

  void loop() {

  if ( Serial.available()) // Check to see if at least one character is available
  {
  char ch = Serial.read();
  switch(ch) {
  case ‘1’:

  //1st State controls LED dim level with the POT, and Speaker with the the PhotoCell
  sensorVal = analogRead(sensorPin);
  potVal = analogRead(potPin);

  LEDbrightness = map(potVal, 0, 1023, 0, 255);
  analogWrite(ledPin, LEDbrightness);
  analogWrite(ledPin, (potVal/4));
  tone(speakerPin, sensorVal*4);

  // Serial.print(sensorVal);
  // Serial.print(” “);
  // Serial.println(potVal);

  delay(20);

  break;
  case ‘2’:
  //*2nd State controls LED dim level with Photocell, and Speaker Tone with POT

  sensorVal = analogRead(sensorPin);
  potVal = analogRead(potPin);
  // sensorVal = 1023 – sensorVal;
  LEDbrightness = map(sensorVal, 0, 1023, 0, 255);
  analogWrite(ledPin, LEDbrightness);

  toneChange =map(potVal, 0, 1023, 0, 255);
  tone(speakerPin, toneChange);

  Serial.print(sensorVal);
  Serial.print(” “);
  Serial.println(potVal);

  delay(20);

  break;
  case ‘3’:
  //*3rd State controls LED blink-rate with the POT, Speaker Tone with POT, and Delay Rate (for both) with PhotoCell

  sensorTime = ((sensorVal)/10);

  Serial.println(“sensor reading = “);
  Serial.println(sensorVal); // the raw analog reading
  Serial.println(” “);
  Serial.println(“TIME reading = “);
  Serial.print(sensorTime);

  //Serial.print(” “);
  // Serial.println(potVal);

  sensorVal = analogRead(sensorPin);
  potVal = analogRead(potPin);

  LEDbrightness = map(potVal, 0, 1023, 0, 255);
  analogWrite(ledPin, LEDbrightness);
  // toneChange =map(potVal, 0, 1023, 0, 255);
  // tone(speakerPin, toneChange);
  //
  // Serial.print(sensorVal);
  // Serial.print(” “);
  // Serial.println(potVal);
  //
  // delay(sensorTime);
  delay(sensorTime);
  digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
  delay(sensorTime);

  break;
  case ‘4’:

  // *4rd State controls LED blink-rate with the PhotoCell, and Speaker tone with PhotoCell.

  sensorTime = ((sensorVal)/10);
  sensorVal = analogRead(sensorPin);

  analogWrite(ledPin, (potVal/4));
  tone(speakerPin, sensorVal*4);

  digitalWrite(ledPin,HIGH);
  delay(sensorTime);
  digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
  delay(sensorTime);
  break;

  default :
  Serial.print(ch);
  Serial.println(” was received but not expected”);
  break;

  }//switch
  } //serial available
  } //void loop
  int RCtime(int RCpin) {
  int reading=0; //startwith0
  // set the pin to an output and pull to LOW (ground)
  pinMode(RCpin, OUTPUT);
  digitalWrite(RCpin, LOW);
  // Now set the pin to an input and…
  pinMode(RCpin, INPUT);
  while (digitalRead(RCpin) == LOW) { // count how long it takes to rise up to HIGH
  reading++; // increment to keep track of time
  if (reading == 30000) {
  // if we got this far, the resistance is so high // its likely that nothing is connected!
  break; // leave the loop
  } }
  // OK either we maxed out at 30000 or hopefully got a reading, return the count
  return reading; }

  Here is the case statement code I wrote, unfortunately I get an error, when I try to upload. But all the 4 states work, if I put them in separate sketches:

  SimonBot!!!! 

  I’m so proud of my first d+t prototype! It’s not much but I have learnt a lot through each process. My simonBot makes terrible sound when you loose and also shake it’s head…it’s eyes blink in rhythm along with it’s heart that blinks color leds pattern. Thanks Yury for teaching us awesome trick about…

  Here’s a link

  I also want to share my “Flower Flipper.”  I made this for cc lab class with arduino as well.

  My Simon Game’s enclosure broke during the hurricane, and since most stores were closed, I had to improvise 🙂

  People liked the vibration buzzer when they lost!
  It was a really fun project. I really liked soldering the board for the vibration buzzer.
