Post by ziggy1976 »

Hello all,


I want to develop a program that requires a user to input a value such as the weight of an object. How do I set this up so that a range of 0-250Kg can be input before the program starts to take readings from a sensor and makes calculations. Is there an example available please?

Hi ziggy1976,
This Keypad & LCD flowchart would be a good starting point.
You can modify iy to suit your needs.
If you get stuck after modifying, you can always post your flowchart for us to give you further assistance.

Your welcome.

Next is looking at ADC examples then putting it all together with calculation boxes so calculate results and send to LCD.
Or even have gLCD to make fonts bigger and background more colorful

But it's better to treat as building blocks and learn one block at a time.

Always start with a flasher to make sure microcontroller is running at the correct speed as this will prevent unnecessary hair pulling.
