I ended up following this tutorial, is it possible to add a button to this sketch, that after 3 seconds of pushing it will drop by 1 the number from the display ? , and when the number raches 0 , a small speaker goes like a alarm?.

mby a beep each second the button is pushed and after last beep, a difrent tone indicating player can leave

Example : set button to 3 seconds, after 3rd beep when pushed , a different beep , the number on the display drops by one and player can go

not sure if this the right place to ask this question

Hope you can help / advise me. I have an Arduino program reading 5 different temperature settings as a csv file this is set as csv to be monitored in a Windows PC program.

set as :-

// prints values to serial port / PC Graphics Program

          Serial.print (water);
          Serial.print (",");
          Serial.print (WavMinn);
          Serial.print (",");
          Serial.print (panel);
          Serial.print (",");
          Serial.print (PavMinn);
          Serial.print (",");
          Serial.print (air);
          Serial.println ("");

I am new to App inventor , have mastered Bluetooth connection but now at a total loss of how to display this data on my phone (Android ) the more I try to find a way the more I get confused !!!

what I would like is to be displayed as :-

Solar Temperature Monitor

Label Data

Any advice on the App Inventor reading a csv data, setup or sample program would be greatly appreciated

you need to start by simply creating programs that just read buttons and let you know if they are detected, this involves simple input statements

then look at display drivers (Google "Night Rider and Arduino" for example), this will rovide plenty of examples driving LEDS etc, or look at using NEO Pixels and ADAFRUIT has plenty of tutorials for that

Then as you learn the skills needed for all these besic programs, you can start putting them together to create somthing unique and in this case, you game controller

Your task for a medium to seasoned programmer is pretty basic but you will find that most folks wont simply do it for you, they will help looking at your code to help debug, suggest ways to interface buttons and other IO devices etc and we will help alot where it is helping, and not simply doing it for you

So as sugested, look to the basic learning tutorials that come with the arduino IDE, work your way through them then extend to other tutorials (I even have a few on this forum you can watch

http://www.element14.com/community/groups/arduino/blog/2014/06/09/fast-track-to-arduino-programming

its a bit beyond the basics but there is a lot there and you will find plenty more in this community

so Show us what you got so far and we can go from there [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-515ebf97-10ba-4d97-adc9-49808901b5e1/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]

Thanks

Hello, Adrian Tudor, I seems that you have committed a worrisome problem with the button and way not familiar with usage of Buttons. well you can have a look at the Crowtail button and there are five colors for you to choose from. Or you can have a look for more detail in Crowtail- Button - Elecrow, may this can help you!

Sounds like this can give you a start on how to interface https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/HomePage. The game wil require logic which appears custom.
