Our current Poster for the bench inspection

For what's it's worth, the most we could do for 6 weeks. What is left to do is our thesis which has a deadline : 22/03/2013

New Codes

So far, we've wanted the readings to be called rather than continuously send data. Therefore, we changed the the codes into a format where the main PC will be able to call the transmitter to send the data being read.

It turned out as so:


float tempK=0, tempC=0, tempF=0;
void setup(){
  Serial.begin(9600);                    //Setup serial to 9600 bps

}

void loop(){

  Serial.println("Enter '1' to prompt results");

  float reading = analogRead(A0) * 5.0;   //Where 5.0V and the Analog (ADC) input
  reading /= 1024.0;                                // is used to determine the voltage reading

  tempK = reading * 100;                  //Read temperature in Kelvins first

  tempC = tempK - 273.15;                //Convert from Kelvin to Celsius

  tempF = ((tempK) * 9 / 5) - 459.67;    //Convert from Kelvin to Fahrenheit


  while (Serial.available() ==0);       //where no value is entered, no data is sent

  int val = Serial.read() -'0';          //Set the codes to read 'Char' of the ASCII Table
  delay(50);

  if(val == 1)                         //For when the value '1' is given, the data is read
  {
 
    //Print all the values to Serial
    Serial.print("Voltage: ");
    Serial.println(reading);

    Serial.println();

    Serial.print("Kelvin: ");
    Serial.println(tempK);

    Serial.print("Celsius: ");
    Serial.println(tempC);

    Serial.print("Fahrenheit: ");
    Serial.println(tempF);

    Serial.println();    //Print Blank Line
  }
  else                            // For any other data expect for '1', causes an invalid
  {
    Serial.println("Invalid");
  }
  while (Serial.available() > 0) Serial.read();

}

Regarding the ASCII Table, if the code was not placed. The value read from pressing '1' will be '49'

Info Gathering

Google my friend...

Loads of information gathering is needed. All thanks and appreciation goes to the findings and the links given to us thus far.
