Actualmente tengo una configuración a la que le envío un char con una Tx de 434MHz y un Uno a un Mega con un Rx. El Mega cuenta cuántas veces recibe el char y luego, si cae por debajo de cierto número, activa una alarma. ¿Es esta una forma viable de medir la distancia entre dos microcontroladores en interiores o hay una mejor manera?
Transmisor (Mega)
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
int rxPin=2; //Goes to the Receiver Pin
int txPin=5; //Make sure it is set to pin 5 going to input of receiver
SoftwareSerial txSerial = SoftwareSerial(rxPin, txPin);
SoftwareSerial rxSerial = SoftwareSerial(txPin, rxPin);
char sendChar ='H';
void setup() {
pinMode(rxPin, INPUT);
pinMode(txPin,OUTPUT);
txSerial.begin(2400);
rxSerial.begin(2400);
}
void loop() {
txSerial.println(sendChar);
Serial.print(sendChar);
}
Receptor
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
//Make sure it is set to pin 5 going to the data input of the transmitter
int rxPin=5;
int txPin=3; //Don't need to make connections
int LED=13;
int BUZZ=9;
int t=0;
char incomingChar = 0;
int counter = 0;
SoftwareSerial rxSerial = SoftwareSerial(rxPin, txPin);
void setup() {
pinMode(rxPin, INPUT); //initilize rxpin as input
pinMode(BUZZ, OUTPUT); //initilize buzz for output
pinMode(LED, OUTPUT); //initilize led for output
rxSerial.begin(2400); //set baud rate for transmission
Serial.begin(2400); //see above
}
void loop() {
for(int i=0; i<200; i++) {
incomingChar = rxSerial.read(); //read incoming msg from tx
if (incomingChar =='H') {
counter++; //if we get bit "h" count it
}
delay(5); //delay of 10 secs
}
Serial.println(incomingChar);
Serial.println(counter); //prints the the bits we recieved
if(counter<55) {
//if we receive less than 100 bits than print out of range triggers alarm
Serial.println("out of range");
tone(BUZZ,5000,500);digitalWrite(LED,HIGH);
}
else {
noTone(BUZZ);digitalWrite(LED, LOW);
//if we get more than 100 bits than we are within range turn off alarm
Serial.println("in range");
}
counter = 0;
incomingChar=0;
}
