low power arduino problems

e14 Contributor
e14 Contributor over 13 years ago

I am fairly new to arduino, I am attempting to make a low power bare bones micro possessor atmega328p to take in analog sensor information to convert to digital then send over fsk to my anrdoid using the soft modem library. I have changed the fuses on the atmege328p to use the internal 8mhz oscillator and the board is working at 2.7v, but my problem i face now is the soft modem library (that works fine at 16mhz) will not send a good reading to the phone. any suggestions are greatly appreciated 

 

this is the link for the sofrmodem http://code.google.com/p/arms22/downloads/detail?name=SoftModem-005.zip&can=2&q=

 

this is my sketch

 

#define F_CPU 1000000UL // 1 MHz, 16MHz is 16000000UL
#include <util/delay.h> // Delay functions library, delay values based on F_CPU.

   // Automatically sets UART baud rate registers based on F_CPU.

 

#include <SoftModem.h>

#include <ctype.h>

 

SoftModem modem;

unsigned int val = 0;

unsigned char PIN = 0;

 

void setup()

{

  Serial.begin(9600);

  pinMode(PIN,INPUT);

  delay(1000);

  modem.begin();

}

 

void loop()

{

  val = analogRead(PIN);

  modem.println(val);

  Serial.println(val);

  delay(1000 );

 

  while(modem.available()){


int c = modem.read();

if(isprint(c)){

Serial.println((char)c);

}

else{

Serial.print("(");

Serial.print(c,HEX);

Serial.println(")");

}

  }

  if(Serial.available()){


modem.write(0xff);

while(Serial.available()){

char c = Serial.read();

modem.write(c);

}

  }

}
