// --------------------------------------------------------------------------- // Before attempting to use this sketch, please read the "Help with 15 Sensors Example Sketch": // https://bitbucket.org/teckel12/arduino-new-ping/wiki/Help%20with%2015%20Sensors%20Example%20Sketch // // This example code was used to successfully communicate with 15 ultrasonic sensors. You can adjust // the number of sensors in your project by changing SONAR_NUM and the number of NewPing objects in the // "sonar" array. You also need to change the pins for each sensor for the NewPing objects. Each sensor // is pinged at 33ms intervals. So, one cycle of all sensors takes 495ms (33 * 15 = 495ms). The results // are sent to the "oneSensorCycle" function which currently just displays the distance data. Your project // would normally process the sensor results in this function (for example, decide if a robot needs to // turn and call the turn function). Keep in mind this example is event-driven. Your complete sketch needs // to be written so there's no "delay" commands and the loop() cycles at faster than a 33ms rate. If other // processes take longer than 33ms, you'll need to increase PING_INTERVAL so it doesn't get behind. // --------------------------------------------------------------------------- #include #define SONAR_NUM 15 // Number of sensors. #define MAX_DISTANCE 200 // Maximum distance (in cm) to ping. #define PING_INTERVAL 33 // Milliseconds between sensor pings (29ms is about the min to avoid cross-sensor echo). unsigned long pingTimer[SONAR_NUM]; // Holds the times when the next ping should happen for each sensor. unsigned int cm[SONAR_NUM]; // Where the ping distances are stored. uint8_t currentSensor = 0; // Keeps track of which sensor is active.
