![]() SensorValue = map(sensorValue, sensorMin, sensorMax, 0, 255) apply the calibration to the sensor reading signal the end of the calibration period calibrate during the first five seconds turn on LED to signal the start of the calibration period: Int sensorMax = 0 // maximum sensor value Int sensorMin = 1023 // minimum sensor value This example code is in the public domain.Ĭonst int sensorPin = A0 // pin that the sensor is attached toĬonst int ledPin = 9 // pin that the LED is attached to LED attached from digital pin 9 to ground analog sensor (potentiometer will do) attached to analog input 0 ![]() Likewise, you set the maximum low and listen for anything higher as You set the minimum high and listen for anything lower, saving it as the new The sensor minimum and maximum initial values may seem backwards. Maximum of expected values attached to the sensor pin. The sensor readingsĭuring the first five seconds of the sketch execution define the minimum and *ĭemonstrates one technique for calibrating sensor input. AnalogWriteMega - Fade 12 LEDs on and off, one by one, using an Arduino or Genuino Mega board.Ĭalibration - Define a maximum and minimum for expected analog sensor values.AnalogInput - Use a potentiometer to control the blinking of an LED.converter to settle after the last reading:įew useful commands while mapping any analog output values: wait 2 milliseconds before the next loop for the analog-to-digital print the results to the Serial Monitor: map it to the range of the analog out: initialize serial communications at 9600 bps: Int outputValue = 0 // value output to the PWM (analog out) Int sensorValue = 0 // value read from the pot They're used to give names to the pins used:Ĭonst int analogInPin = A0 // Analog input pin that the potentiometer is attached toĬonst int analogOutPin = 9 // Analog output pin that the LED is attached to Finally, both the raw and scaled sensor values are sent to the Arduino Software (IDE) serial monitor window, in a steady stream of data. The newly mapped sensor data is then output to the analogOutPin dimming or brightening the LED as the potentiometer is turned. In this case, the sensor data is mapped down from its original range of 0 to 1023 to 0 to 255. map() accepts five arguments: The value to be mapped, the low range and high values of the input data, and the low and high values for that data to be remapped to. OutputValue is assigned to equal the scaled value from the potentiometer. ![]() In order to convert this value, use a function called map(): outputValue = map(sensorValue, 0, 1023, 0, 255) Arduino has an analogRead range from 0 to 1023, and an analogWrite range only from 0 to 255, therefore the data from the potentiometer needs to be converted to fit into the smaller range before using it to dim the LED. ![]() ![]() 40 + 200 = 240.In the main loop, sensorValue is assigned to store the raw analog value read from the potentiometer. Then you just add to that the output minimum values which just gives it an offset. The way it is done avoids the use of any floating point values which makes it faster. Multiply that percentage by the size of the output range to get how far through the output you are. You could also do it the other way around - divide the input offset (4) by the input size (10) to get the percentage (in the range 0 to 1) that you are through the input. Multiply the first two together and divide by the third and you get how far through the output range the input is. 4 is how far through the input range you are.The same with in_max and in_min - it gives the size of the input range - 10 in this case (20 - 10 = 10). If you want to map to 200 to 300, say, the range between the two is 100. Out_max - out_min gives you the range of the output in the same way. That gives you how far (in quanta of X) into the range you are. So X is 4 more than the minimum, or X - in_min = 4. If you subtract that minimum value from X you re-map X into the range it can be.įor instance if X can be between 10 and 20 the in_min would be 10 and in the in_max would be 20. (x - in_min) * (out_max - out_min) / (in_max - in_min) + out_min ![]()
