Arduino Code Options
Install Arduino Program
- https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software
- Save file
- Initiate installation through application file (you will need to agree to their license)
- Complete installation and close setup program
Connect to Arduino Uno
- Open Arduino IDE from program file
- Connect Arduino to computer through Arduino Compatible USB connection
Download & Upload Code
- Download this Word File that has the text for the SESC_13 code.
- Copy the text and paste it into the Arduino code window.
- Download AccelStepper file from https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software
- Transfer the AccelStepper folder to libraries (Arduino OS > Program Files (x86) > Arduino > Libraries)
- Specify the Arduino unit that will perform operations; default operation set to Arduino Uno
- Specify the port that the Arduino unit will use during operations; Arduino must be connected
- Create folder to contain code file; save the code to folder and open SESC_13 file through the Arduino IDE (Arduino OS > Program Files (x86) > Arduino > Code > SESC_13)
- Verify and Upload SESC_13 code to the Arduino
- Open Serial Monitor to begin code operation (Tools, then select Serial Monitor; or use control+shift+M)
- Select “Both NL & CR” at the bottom right part of the serial monitor
Using SESC_13 Code (make sure that entire system is plugged in and connected)
- Note: This code includes the capability of a flush pump. The instructions for use of the flush pump will be added soon.
- Download Excel file from here
- Open Excel sheet and enter specified parameters for each pump for Pump 1-5
- Conditions for the operation of all pumps in a particular scheme will be specified by the cell with multiple numbers and commas
- Copy and paste this cell to the serial monitor
- Press ENTER in serial monitor; a return dialogue indicates the information was received and pump operation should initiate
- To stop pumps, press ENTER in serial monitor
