Need to learn how to code hour meter.

Former Member
Former Member over 11 years ago

Hello,

     I am new to Arduino and I am having a hard time figuring out how to create a hour meter. I am using an uno with an Ethernet/SD shield. I have that hooked up to sump pump and a transducer. I am able to see the liquid level and control the pump via web page. However, I would like to create a hour meter that records the pump run-time hours, and prints it on to the web page. Here is my code,

 

#include <SPI.h>
#include <Ethernet.h>

// Enter a MAC address and IP address for your controller below.
// The IP address will be dependent on your local network:
byte mac[] = {
  0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED };
IPAddress ip(192,168,1,177);

// Initialize the Ethernet server library
// with the IP address and port you want to use
// (port 80 is default for HTTP):
EthernetServer server(80);
*/ LEDpin is used to control relay
int LEDpin = 1;
String readString = String(30);
String state = String(3);

void setup()
{
  // start the Ethernet connection and the server:
  Ethernet.begin(mac, ip);
  server.begin();
 
  //Sets the LEDpin as an output
  //LEDpin is actually for relay control
  pinMode(LEDpin,OUTPUT);
 
  digitalWrite(LEDpin,LOW);
  state = "OFF";
}

void loop()
{
  // listen for incoming clients
  EthernetClient client = server.available();
  if (client) {
    // an http request ends with a blank line
    boolean currentLineIsBlank = true;
    while (client.connected()) {
      if (client.available()) {
        char c = client.read();
        // if you've gotten to the end of the line (received a newline
        // character) and the line is blank, the http request has ended,
        // so you can send a reply

        if (readString.length() < 30) {
          readString.concat(c);
        }

        if (c == '\n' && currentLineIsBlank) {
          // send a standard http response header
          int LED = readString.indexOf("LED=");

          if (readString.substring(LED,LED+5) == "LED=T") {
            digitalWrite(LEDpin,HIGH);
            state = "ON";
          }
          else if (readString.substring(LED,LED+5) == "LED=F") {
            digitalWrite(LEDpin,LOW);
            state = "OFF";
          }
          client.println("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");
          client.println("Content-Type: text/html");
          client.println("Connection: close");  // the connection will be closed after completion of the response
   client.println("Refresh: 3");  // refresh the page automatically every 3 sec
        
          client.println();

  client.println("<!DOCTYPE HTML>");
          client.println("<html><body bgcolor='Gray'>");
          // Pump Name
          client.println("<center><H1>KO6</H1></center>");
          // output the value of the analog input pin
          for (int analogChannel = 0; analogChannel < 1; analogChannel++) {
            int sensorReading = analogRead(analogChannel);
            sensorReading = map(sensorReading, 0, 1024, 0, 300);
            client.print("<center> Liquid Level ");
            client.print(" is ");
            client.print ("<b><font color='blue'>");
            client.print(sensorReading);
            client.print ("</b></font color>");
            client.println("<br />");
            client.print(" Hours:  ");
            //client.print(runtime)
            client.println("<br />");     
          }
        
         
          client.print("Pump is ");
          client.print(state);
          client.print("<br><br>");
         
          if (state == "ON") {
            client.println("<a href=\"./?LED=F\">Turn Off<a>");
          }
          else {
            client.println("<a href=\"./?LED=T\">Turn On<a>");
          }
           client.print("</center>");
           client.println("</html>");
          break;
        }
        if (c == '\n') {
          // you're starting a new line
          currentLineIsBlank = true;
        }
        else if (c != '\r') {
          // you've gotten a character on the current line
          currentLineIsBlank = false;
        }
      }
    }
    // give the web browser time to receive the data
    delay(1);
    readString = "";
    // close the connection:
    client.stop();
  }

 

Sorry if my code is sloppy, I am still learning, if anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

    As Peter says, what does your web page actually look like? Can you provide a screen shot?

    Thank you guy for your replies,

    I am going to tinker with the mills() as a variable this week and see what i can come up with.

    Here are two screenshots of the web page one is of the pump off and and one of it on.
