I am a beginner in Arduino programming. The objective of the script below is to turn on the pump on button press(d==0) wait for 8 seconds turn the pump off and send an SMS alert. When the button is released the pump stays off (emergency switch off).
Here I have managed to turn the pump on when the button is pressed and send a message. When the button is released the pump successfully turns off. However, the delay after 8 seconds turn off the pump doesn't really work which leaves me puzzled. Instead what happens is after 8 second delay the pump instantaneously jerks(toggles) then continues to stay on and send the message. I would appreciate any insight.

I have an AI Thinker A9G module connected to an ESP8266 D1 mini. I have the following script to send and receive AT commands to/from the module. The idea is to get a SMS with the Google maps GPS location of the module onto my mobile phone.
// GPS tracker with AI Thinker A9G module and AZ Delivery D1 Mini ESP8266 module
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>

char call;
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(115200); // Baud rate for serial monitor

Serial.println();
delay(100);
// Set SMS mode to text mode
A9modem.print("AT+CMGF=1\r");
delay(100);
// Set GSM module to TP show the output on serial out
A9modem.print("AT+CNMI=2,2,0,0,0\r");
delay(100);
}
void loop()
{
ReceiveMessage();
gpsData = incomingData.substring(33, 52);

delay(1000);
}
void HangupCall()
{
A9modem.println("ATH");

delay(1000);
}
void DisconnectGps()
{

delay(1000);
}
void ReadLocation()
{
A9modem.println("AT+GPS=1");
delay(1000);
A9modem.println("AT+LOCATION=2"); // Check location every two seconds
delay(2000);
}
So if I use the commands "l" and "s" in Arduino IDE serial monitor everything is working well but I don't know how to change the code in a way that I get a fully automated GPS tracker. The idea is the following: Power on starts the tracker. When gpsData string is not empty the first SMS will be send to my mobile phone. The next SMS follows 20 minutes later and so on until power is switched off. Could you help please?
Thanks in advance!
Finally I came up with this solution but I'm not very happy with it (it is working but I have to restart the module from time to time because there are no GPS data). There are 3 reasons for this: There is no error handling for the GPS function, I set the delays in a more ore less random way to get everything working but I don't know if the values make sense and I don't know if the substring() function is the best way to get the location from the serial response.

Try turning ON the NMEA stream from the A9G. Say you want to get the NMEA data every t seconds, you can add and then call the following function once in the void setup()
void TurnOnNMEA(int t)
{
if(t > 3600)
t = 3600; // Because the max time is 3600s
A9modem.print("AT+GPSRD=");
A9modem.println(t);
while(!A9modem.available()); // wait till the A9G sends a response
char c;
while(A9modem.available())
{
c = A9modem.read();
Serial.print(c);
delay(2); // Time needed for the next character
}
}
This will start the NMEA data stream every t seconds which you can print using the following function,
void ReadNMEA()
{
char c; // Read each character from the stream as it comes
if(A9modem.available())
{
c = A9modem.read();
Serial.print(c);
delay(2); // Time needed for the next character
}
}
Parsing and decoding the NMEA is a bit tricky thing to do. There is a lot of information inside it and the decoding depends on what you want to do with it. If you just want the location, you can parse the $GNGGA line.
When parsing the data, DO NOT USE Arduino String() class. It is a very bad idea when handling this kind of stream. Instead, use char array.
I want to make the Arduino Pro Mini run on a 3.7v (4.2v when fully charged) LI-Ion battery.
The project is I will use an IR sensor to control the relay. Based on the IR code received, I will toggle the relay digital output pin (HIGH or LOW). Initially, the arduino is set to deep sleep mode and when it receives an External Interrupt (pin 2 on pro-mini), it will process the IR code and switch on the relay.
//Interrupts using Arduino
//Circuit Digest
#include "LowPower.h"
#include <IRremote.h>
volatile int output = LOW;
int i = 0;
#define RECV_PIN 2
volatile boolean sleepEnabled = true;
IRrecv irrecv(RECV_PIN);
decode_results results;
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
irrecv.enableIRIn();
pinMode(RECV_PIN, INPUT);
attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(RECV_PIN), buttonPressed1, RISING); // function for creating external interrupts at pin2 on Rising (LOW to HIGH)
}
void loop()
{
Serial.println(i);
++i;
delay(1000);
output = LOW;
digitalWrite(13, output); //Turns LED ON or OFF depending upon output value
if (sleepEnabled == true) {
Serial.println("Going to sleep");
delay(1000);
LowPower.powerDown(SLEEP_FOREVER, ADC_OFF, BOD_OFF);
}
delay(500);
readIR();
}
void buttonPressed1() //ISR function excutes when push button at pinD2 is pressed
{
sleepEnabled = false;
}
void readIR() {
if (irrecv.decode(&results)) {
Serial.println(results.value, HEX);
if (results.value == 0xff4ab5) {
sleepEnabled = true;
}
}
irrecv.resume(); // Receive the next value
}
When the pro-mini goes back to sleep, everything is turned off.
How can I make the pro-mini consume minimal power while the relay pin is HIGH ?
Currently I am attempting to figure out how to control my Adafruit NeoPixels strip using OSC. More specifically, I am using TouchOSC to send/receive messages over WiFi from my NodeMCU ESP8266 microcontroller, which is connected to my NeoPixels.
I have downloaded some test code that somebody else made that listens for OSC messages to toggle the tiny LED on the NodeMCU board on/off. When the controller receives the message, it sends the message back to the TouchOSC client to tell whether or not the light is on (it's a toggle button). This all works perfectly fine.
I've written a simple function that animates the NeoPixel LED strip connected to the NodeMCU board. On its own, this also works perfectly fine.
What I've been struggling with is to figure out a way to get my function [the one called gwBlink()] to run in a loop when the LED is toggled on.
I've attached the code. Could somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong?? I would be eternally grateful for any help!! :)
The TouchOSC interface:
/**
* Send and receive OSC messages between NodeMCU and another OSC speaking device.
* Send Case: Press a physical button (connected to NodeMCU) and get informed about it on your smartphone screen
* Receive Case: Switch an LED (connected to NodeMCU) on or off via Smartphone

This code actually works fine as far as switching the little LED on the board on/off, but my animation function isn't triggered.
I have only been working with NeoPixels for a short time, but I had problems when trying to use them & serial monitor simultaneously. Once I disabled the serial command (//Serial.begin(115200);), they worked fine. The documentation doesn't plainly state this, I discovered it in a thread where an Adafruit Admin referred to using serial while trying to also update the NeoPixels as a "pain".
If commenting out Serial.begin fixes your problem, then I guess you can experiment with:
*if (Serial.available()) {
int inByte = Serial.read();
Serial1.print(inByte, DEC);
}*
...idk, but it's worth trying.
I want to send processing IDE data to arduino. But led is not working. It worked fine once. But not working now :( Serial port name is exactly same in arduino as it is found by processing.
Processing code:
import processing.serial.*;
Serial myPort; // Create object from Serial class
void setup()
{
size(200,200); //make our canvas 200 x 200 pixels big
String portName = Serial.list()[0]; //change the 0 to a 1 or 2 etc. to match your port
myPort = new Serial(this, portName, 9600);
}
//send a 1
void draw() {
if (mousePressed == true)
{ //if we clicked in the window
myPort.write('1'); //send a 1
println("1");
} else
{ //otherwise
myPort.write('0'); //send a 0
}
}
Arduino code:
char val='0'; // Data received from the serial port
int ledPin = 13; // Set the pin to digital I/O 13
void setup() {
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // Set pin as OUTPUT
Serial.begin(9600); // Start serial communication at 9600 bps
}
void loop() {
//digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // turn the LED on
if (Serial.available())
{ // If data is available to read,
val = Serial.read(); // read it and store it in val
}
if (val == '1')
{ // If 1 was received
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // turn the LED on
} else {
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // otherwise turn it off
}
delay(10); // Wait 10 milliseconds for next reading
}
Processing
You can simply say if(mousePressed)..., there is no need to say == true (it's implied)
Arduino
You're correct to check if(Serial.available()) before trying to overwrite val with whatever character you read from there. However, the rest of your code inside loop() is executing regardless of this check. There is no reason to repeatedly write a pin to LOW or HIGH if it is already there. In fact, you will be more responsive if you only delay on loops where you find a character available for reading.
I'd recommend you add some print statements to your Arduino code so you can get a look at what you're reading.
Also, could it be that your hardware is connected improperly or that your LED is simply burnt out?
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
char inchar; //Will hold the incoming character from the serial port.
SoftwareSerial cell(2,3); //Create a 'fake' serial port. Pin 2 is the Rx pin, pin 3 is the Tx pin.
int led1 = A2;
void setup()
{
// Prepare the digital output pins
pinMode(led1, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(led1, HIGH);
//Initialize GSM module serial port for communication.
cell.begin(19200);
delay(30000); // Give time for GSM module to register on network, etc.
cell.println("AT+CMGF=1"); // Set SMS mode to text
delay(200);
cell.println("AT+CNMI=3,3,0,0"); // Set module to send SMS data to serial out upon receipt
delay(200);
}
void loop()
{
//If a character comes in from the cellular module...
if(cell.available() >0)
{
delay(10);
inchar=cell.read();
if (inchar=='a')
{
delay(10);
inchar=cell.read();
if (inchar=='0')
{
digitalWrite(led1, LOW);
}
else if (inchar=='1')
{
digitalWrite(led1, HIGH);
}
delay(10);
delay(10);
}
cell.println("AT+CMGD=1,4"); // Delete all SMS
}
}
This is the code for receiving SMSes from the cellular network. I am using the Arduino Gboard with SIM900. There is no error in the code, but the LED on the board doesn't switch on or off in response to an SMS.
Why?
Here's a fully functional code for sending a command thru SMS using Arduino and GSM, it will also reply the state of the light.
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial GPRS(10, 11);
String textMessage;
String lampState;
const int relay = 12; //If you're using a relay to switch, if not reverse all HIGH and LOW on the code
void setup() {
pinMode(relay, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(relay, HIGH); // The current state of the light is ON
Serial.begin(9600);
GPRS.begin(9600);
delay(5000);
Serial.print("GPRS ready...\r\n");
GPRS.print("AT+CMGF=1\r\n");
delay(1000);
GPRS.print("AT+CNMI=2,2,0,0,0\r\n");
delay(1000);
}
void loop(){
if(GPRS.available()>0){
textMessage = GPRS.readString();
Serial.print(textMessage);
delay(10);
}
if(textMessage.indexOf("ON")>=0){ //If you sent "ON" the lights will turn on
// Turn on relay and save current state
digitalWrite(relay, HIGH);
lampState = "ON";
Serial.println("Lamp set to ON\r\n");
textMessage = "";
GPRS.println("AT+CMGS=\"+631234567890\""); // RECEIVER: change the phone number here with international code
delay(500);
GPRS.print("Lamp was finally switched ON.\r");
GPRS.write( 0x1a );
delay(1000);
}
if(textMessage.indexOf("OFF")>=0){
// Turn off relay and save current state
digitalWrite(relay, LOW);
lampState = "OFF";
Serial.println("Lamp set to OFF\r\n");
textMessage = "";
GPRS.println("AT+CMGS=\"+631234567890\""); /// RECEIVER: change the phone number here with international code
delay(500);
GPRS.print("Lamp was finally switched OFF.\r");
GPRS.write( 0x1a );
delay(1000);
}
if(textMessage.indexOf("STATUS")>=0){
String message = "Lamp is " + lampState;
GPRS.print("AT+CMGF=1");
delay(1000);
Serial.println("Lamp state resquest");
textMessage = "";
GPRS.println("AT+CMGS=\"+631234567890\""); // RECEIVER: change the phone number here with international code

}
}
Change
AT+CNMI=3,3,0,0
to:
AT+CNMI=2,2,0,0,0
The simplest way is the best way.

One think more, incomming sms has the following format:
+CMT: "+48xxxxxxxxx","","17/07/07,21:57:04+08"
Test of arrived messages
You should first know exactly what the response is before attempting to parse it.
Try something simple like the following code (note: untested!) to get a feeling of what you should look for:
void loop() {
if(cell.available() > 0) {
char ch = cell.read();
Serial.print(ch);
}
}
My guess is you'll see more than just a '0' or a '1' :)
void loop() {
while(cell.available() > 0) {inchar = cell.read(); readString+=c;delay(1);} ///can be a delay up to (10) so you can get a clear reading
Serial.print(readString); /// Declare a string " String readString; "
for (i=0; i<200; i++){ /// Serch for the txt you sent up to (200) times it depends how long your ""readString" is
if(readString.substring(i,i+4)=="RING"){ //// I am looking for the word RING sent from my phone
digitalWrite(13,HIGH);
break;
}
}
}
this will help you find the specific word ir your reading (text message)
