Re: Microcontroller to trip sensors with precise timings.
OK, great - I shall forget about the PWM and use digital output for now? I have had a go at writing the program - I have no idea how to actually output either 0v or 5v, nor do I know how to record the input. I hope you can see what I'm trying to achieve though, to assist in making it clear I have al...

Re: Microcontroller to trip sensors with precise timings.
Regarding the accuracy of the analogue (i think) signal that was originally sent - it was read as 'Greater than 2.4v' or 'less than 0.4v' - so as long as the voltage output is >2.4v or <0.4v (depending on the situation), it should be alright - extreme precision is not really necessary. if its easie...

Re: Microcontroller to trip sensors with precise timings.
Hi Harry, The normal output from a microcontroller is at logic level. i.e with 5V microcontroller its either 0V(logic 0) or 5V (logic 1) If microcontroller has an ADC converter, then i/p can vary from 0V to 5V which loads a value from 0 to 255 (if ReadAsByte) or 0 to 1023 if ReadAsInt and you have ...

Re: Microcontroller to trip sensors with precise timings.
This might get you started in your project. Press play to see if the logic is right. You can click on the switch and watch what happens. Adjust to suit your needs. The circuit design is up to you to get the exact voltages. There is a very nice "Learning Center" on the website. Wow :D Many...

Microcontroller to trip sensors with precise timings.
Hi, I’m new here and a beginner to programming microcontrollers. I’ve been told that Flowcode is perfect for what I’m trying to achieve, and I fully intend on purchasing it, but for now I want to see if what I want to achieve is possible, this is going to be a fairly longwinded first-post, so bear w...
