Having sketch problems.

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago

I am having trouble with my sketch.  I am using an ultrasonic distance to activate relay.  Relay stays on all the time.

 

 

 

 

#define trigPin 12

#define echoPin 13

int relay2 = 2;

int i = 1000;

 

 

void setup() {

Serial.begin (9600);

pinMode(trigPin, OUTPUT);

pinMode(echoPin, INPUT);

pinMode(relay2, OUTPUT);

}

 

 

void loop() {

long duration, distance;

digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);

delayMicroseconds(2);

digitalWrite(trigPin, HIGH);

delayMicroseconds(10);

digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);

duration = pulseIn(echoPin, HIGH);

distance = (duration/2) / 29.1;

digitalWrite(2, LOW);

if (distance >= 25 || distance <= 2){

   Serial.println("Out of range");

}

if (i >= 4){

delay(i);

(distance >= 10);

(distance <= 8);

 

 

 

 

 

 

i = i/2;

}

  else {

   digitalWrite(2, HIGH);

   digitalWrite(2, LOW);

   Serial.print(distance);

   Serial.println(" in");

    delay(i);

  digitalWrite(2, LOW);

  delay(i);

digitalWrite(2, HIGH);

 

 

i = i/2;

}

delay(2000);

}
