analog read a value and call it something else

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago

Hi everyone, I am trying to read an analog value I am calling airState and if both my buttons are pressed I want to set it as a variable to save for later. I have the if statements, the variable, and the buttons figure out, I just cant figure out how to read a variable and assign it a name of its own as a varible.

 

All guidance will be much appreciated, thanks

 

psuedo code:

analog read airState

set progairState to current airState reading

 

[CODE]

  airState = analogRead(airPin);

  analogRead(airState);                         //read analog input "airState" and set to memory as "progairState" to compare

Serial.println(progairState);                  //how do I make progairState equal airState at Serial print time

[CODE]

 

Answering my own question maybe.... Does this work?

  airState = analogRead(airPin);

  analogRead(airState);                         //read analog input and set to memory

  if (airState != 0)

  Serial.println(progairState);

    Hi Randy, Your code is close, but there are some basic rules that need to be understood, about operators, assignment and functions. Without this knowledge, you'll be repeatedly stuck. Fortunately it doesn…
