MyRIO C Code

[QSD91]

Hey guys, I'm using the MyRIO on a project regarding a bicycle. I'm adding a reed switch to the wheel wtih a magnet, to record the bicycles speed, then that will be inputed into an LCD screen. Could you guys check the code below testing the reed switch, if I've made any errors.

//outputs speed of bicycle to LCD

//calculations
//tire radius ~ 13.5 inches
//circumference = pi*2*r =~85 inches
//max speed of 35mph =~ 616inches/second
//max rps =~7.25

#define reed A0//pin connected to read switch

//storage variables
float radius = 13.5;// tire radius (in inches)

int reedVal;
long timer = 0;// time between one full rotation (in ms)
float mph = 0.00;
float circumference;
boolean backlight;

int maxReedCounter = 100;//min time (in ms) of one rotation (for debouncing)
int reedCounter;

void setup(){

reedCounter = maxReedCounter;
circumference = 2*3.14*radius;
pinMode(1,OUTPUT);//tx
pinMode(2,OUTPUT);//backlight switch
pinMode(reed, INPUT);

checkBacklight();

Serial.write(12);//clear

// TIMER SETUP- the timer interrupt allows preceise timed measurements of the reed switch
cli();//stop interrupts

//set timer1 interrupt at 1kHz
TCCR1A = 0;// set entire TCCR1A register to 0
TCCR1B = 0;// same for TCCR1B
TCNT1 = 0;
// set timer count for 1khz increments
OCR1A = 1999;// = (1/1000) / ((1/(16*10^6))*8) - 1
// turn on CTC mode
TCCR1B |= (1 << WGM12);
// Set CS11 bit for 8 prescaler
TCCR1B |= (1 << CS11);
// enable timer compare interrupt
TIMSK1 |= (1 << OCIE1A);

sei();//allow interrupts
//END TIMER SETUP

Serial.begin(9600);
}

void checkBacklight(){
backlight = digitalRead(2);
if (backlight){
Serial.write(17);//turn backlight on
}
else{
Serial.write(18);//turn backlight off
}
}

ISR(TIMER1_COMPA_vect) {//Interrupt at freq of 1kHz to measure reed switch
reedVal = digitalRead(reed);//get val of A0
if (reedVal){//if reed switch is closed
if (reedCounter == 0){//min time between pulses has passed
mph = (56.8*float(circumference))/float(timer);//calculate miles per hour
timer = 0;//reset timer
reedCounter = maxReedCounter;//reset reedCounter
}
else{
if (reedCounter > 0){//don't let reedCounter go negative
reedCounter -= 1;//decrement reedCounter
}
}
}
else{//if reed switch is open
if (reedCounter > 0){//don't let reedCounter go negative
reedCounter -= 1;//decrement reedCounter
}
}
if (timer > 2000){
mph = 0;//if no new pulses from reed switch- tire is still, set mph to 0
}
else{
timer += 1;//increment timer
}
}

void displayMPH(){
Serial.write(12);//clear
Serial.write("Speed =");
Serial.write(13);//start a new line
Serial.print(mph);
Serial.write(" MPH ");
//Serial.write("0.00 MPH ");
}

void loop(){
//print mph once a second
displayMPH();
delay(1000);
checkBacklight();
}

Hey QSD91,

Have you tried to build and deploy the code?  The best way to find out if it will work is to give it a try.  

This document has all the info you need to setup eclipse to build and deploy C code to the myRIO.  Please let us know if you have any specific questions on any of this.

Thanks!
