Thanks hippy - why is the adc value for the POT 1023/1024? If I am using 8 bit, won't the number be 255?

Many thanks lbenson :)

Hi hippy, just a quick question about my earlier coding challenge which you were helping out in firstly, how do I program for an adc value i.e. a potentiometerm so that the higher the value the the faster the leds come on I.e. symbol SOME TIME decreases? and, how do I incorporate my buzzer so...

I still need to: incorporate my POT (see first post) and my buzzer into this code and I need to do 8-17 8. The user then uses the potentiometer to shorten the rate at which the LEDs come on - i.e they come on faster. 9. They can then press PTM number 1 again to move to mode 2 10. In this mode...

Symbol BUTTON_MODE = pinC.0 Symbol BUTTON_1 = pinC.1 Symbol BUTTON_2 = pinC.2 Symbol BUTTON_3 = pinC.3 Symbol PUSHED = 1 ; Active high when a button is pushed Symbol LED1 = B.1 Symbol LED2 = B.2 Symbol LED3 = B.3 Symbol SOME_TIME = 4000 ...

Thanks hippy for the help earlier this month. Due to COVID-19, my plans were disrupted, but now I can say that the initial program works as I want. What is the next stage incrementally. Also, I would like to change one function: mode 4: HANDHELD mode - only LED 2 can come, and it just...

Also, sorry to bother you - what do you mean when you say I will have to adjust some of the symbol definitions?

Many thanks hippy, so as far as I see it, the above code works for stage 1 in what you call incremental coding. i.e for now this works for Game 1 and I still have to do Game 2 and 3...? I will programme this onto my circuit tomorrow and try to make additions like you suggest, making sure to...

Dear all, I am having some difficulties with writing a program which has 4 push to make switches and a pot as the input and 3 LEDs + buzzer as the output. I am attaching a picture of my PCB below although I appreciate this may not be helpful so I will also attempt to explain the function. It...

Many thanks hippy, But won't there be a current coming from the output pin 8 through the transistor? I'm just seeking further clarification BTW, because I see what you mean. I will change it! Thanks both.

Thanks Alan - In terms of the bottom right hand corner - I was trying to making the layout as compact as possible. How could I make it better? PTM is a push to make switch, same thing as a push button. Thanks for highlighting the fact that one of the push buttons isn't connected - i will fix...

I'm unsure what a decoupling capacitor is.. Lacing holes are for the flying wires to connect offboard components. (PTMs and LEDs) I know, but unfortunately, I must follow my instructor on some things..

Hi guys, Thank you for everyone who has made this possible. I have spent far too long on this circuit, so I just want confirmation that this circuit below would work! (And if there is anything huge, then a few critiques would be helpful). From a prior discussion: lbenson, if you see this...

Hi guys, really appreciate everyone's help. just a quick question - in the template above that had been causing confusion: why does the designer use lacing holes which seem to go ”one above, one below” in stead of the 'normal' square configuration? i hope I’m making sense.. cheers, rahul

Do i not need to connect the pot in a potential divider with a 1k resistor?

This one..

My sincere apologies, but rq3 you have lost me.. would it be possible for you to critique the original circuit ?

so, as far as I can understand, i should use a 'pot' for my speed altering system

Thank you Alan - The project is for educational purposes but for an internal project. So yes, the tutor must be kept happy...! The alternatives do look much better but unfortunately, I have to follow some things that my tutor has told me...i.e use GENIE circuit wizard. I still don't get how I...

i was being quite dumb - the pot is a potentiometer. i found on the internet that you only connect one leg out of the bottom two on the pot, and the third leg you don't connect at all.. But otherwise that looks quite clever! Thanks!
