Like that code - no flipping semi colons - the bane of my life! code for picaxe, but easy to transfer to Arduino... #picaxe 20x2 b1=3 w3=0 w3=599 main: ;=== switch smoke ON/OFF === pulsin b.7,1,w2 if w2>300 then high c.0 else low c.0 endif ;========================== ;=== throttle input ======= ;=== convert to 799 max for fam === pulsin b.6,1,w3 if w3>295 then w4=w3-295 max 100 else w4=295-w3 max 100 endif if w4>14 then b1=255 endif if w4<15 then let w4=0:endif ; min cutoff w5=w4*8 max 799 if b1=255 then w5=w5 min 250 ; minimum fan speed pwmout C.5, 199, w5 ; fan output endif if b1>3 and b1<255 then pwmout C.5, 199,200 endif if b1<2 then pwmout C.5, 199, 0 endif dec b1 if b1<100 then ; fan run on time b1=1 endif ;========================= ; = smoke 1 on/off ====== if w4>15 then high c.3 else low c.3 endif ;======================== ;=== smoke 2 on/off ==== if w4>55 then high c.2 else low c.2 endif ;======================= ;== running lights ===== pulsin b.5,1,w6 if w6>300 then high b.0 high b.2 else low b.0 low b.2 endif ;===================== ;=== cabin lights ==== pulsin b.4,1,w7 if w7>300 then high b.1 high b.3 else low b.1 low b.3 endif ;=================== goto main |

Dave,
How did you design that circuit board - looks mega complex

Dave - Thank you
Something else to learn!
I'll link this in the "Useful links" section

I've added the following to the code but only works if i unplug the chanel for the fan input. any ideas.
if(rc3 > 1800) {
digitalWrite(led, HIGH);}
{
if(rc3 < 1380)
digitalWrite(led, LOW);
}
int enable1 = 10;
int rc_channel4 = 3;
int rcswitch = A0;
int led = 11;
void setup() {
pinMode(rc_channel4, INPUT);
pinMode(enable1, OUTPUT);
pinMode(rcswitch, INPUT);
pinMode(led, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
int pwm = 0;
int rc4 = pulseIn(rc_channel4, HIGH, 25000); // throttle
int rc3 = pulseIn(rcswitch, HIGH, 25000); // lights
if(rc3 > 1800) {
digitalWrite(led, HIGH);}
{
if(rc3 < 1380)
digitalWrite(led, LOW);
}
if(rc4==0){
analogWrite(enable1, 80);
}
else if(rc4 > 1500){
pwm = map(rc4, 1485, 1970, 255, 100);
analogWrite(enable1, pwm);
}
else if(rc4 < 1460){
pwm = map(rc4, 1480, 986, 255, 100);
analogWrite(enable1, pwm);
}else
{
analogWrite(enable1, 80);
}
}
Cheers

Does't matter finally got the Interput working correctly  |

Hi Tim,
Pleased you got it working - not sure if this may also affect you or maybe this was the issue
if(rc3 > 1800) {
digitalWrite(led, HIGH);}
{
if(rc3 < 1380) !! Missing bracket....
digitalWrite(led, LOW);
}
or was this "ELSE"
if(rc3 > 1800) {
digitalWrite(led, HIGH);
}
else
{
if(rc3 < 1380)
digitalWrite(led, LOW);
}
The one thing I find about Arduino programming is with such a small instruction set I still make zillions of syntax errors!

Thanks c3po, can't beleive it all cause of a missing }.
in some way i'm glad it failed as forced me to to get the interputs script work which i think will be better for future projects.
cheers

Tim,
Interrupts by far the best and quickest way to go.
I have a shell that I just plonk the code into - chances are I can't even remember how the RC interrupt code works as I don't even look at it...
The other thing that is so annoying is that it's really easy to see typo's in someone else code but not your own - leading to hours of frustrating debugging....

been messing around with this project to work with my robbe sound unit.
instead of using two extra channels to switch on the leds and board. I wait to use the two extra output of the sound unit(believe they just go high/low).
But still need the throttle input from the rx,
how would you alter the RC interupt scipt to read one chanel from the rx and then the other 2 from a high low signal or is it not possible. already tried removing the msec to high/low and putting in digitalRead)
Just thought this will come in handy for other idea where the interupts could be limit switches.
cheers

Hi Tim
Not sure I follow your post.
Are you wanting to read 3 channels from Rx
One proportional throttle and 2 TX switch on or off?

Cheers c3po,
Really pleased with my self. sat down had a beer and cig and got it working.
basiclly it read the throttle signal like normal but the other two inputs are from the robbe sound unit(basicly a 8 ch decoder) so in theory this can be used on any device now.
