I feel like a blind man wandering around in the bush at night hoping to find my way home!
So here's where I'm at with this project, I've put some comments in so you can see what I'm trying to accomplish. Any and all help will be appreciated. Code:
:loop
#timer to power down
$x = 0
RepeatUntil($x = 30)
$x++
Sleep(1000)
EndRepeatUntil
repeatUntil(1=2)
#what to do when timer gets to 30
set(D2,OFF)
#$x = GetDigital(D2)
ControlCommand("Script Manager", ScriptStart, "power down")#do this once
sleep(5000)
WaitForChange(GetDigital(D2))
sleep(5000)
#do this when the PIR is triggered after "power down"
$motion=getDigital(D2)
IF($motion=1) #pin went high
ControlCommand("Script Manager", ScriptStart, "Power up")#do this once
endif
#do this if PIR is triggered anytime after it has powered up
$motion=getdigital(D2)
if($motion=1)
#stay powered up - need something here - what?
sleep(10000)
EndIf
# if Pir is not triggered in 30 sec start the timer again
If($x = 30)
GoTo(loop)
endif
EndRepeatUntil
Thanks
PS. I would pay money to go to a course somewhere to learn EZ-Robot scripting!
Code:
Presuming it's on board 0. If on another board change the 0. If multiple boards put each board on a new line i.e.
Code:
If you only want to power down a specific servo use
Code:
Or multiple servos
Code:
Or multiple servos across multiple boards
Code:
It worked fine when using "D2", I changed ports because all of my digital ports are in use.
Code:
If not, you may need to build a small circuit to make it work for ADC.
Code:
When it is triggered it goes to 2.5V and up the the line second from the top on the graph.
I have tried all sorts of different setting and nothing makes a difference. The"Monitoring" script goes to the "LowPowerMonitoring" script and then immediately to the "Power up" script . I have put in a delay in the "LowPowerMonitoring" script, to give the PIR time to reset. That did not make a difference, either.
When the PIR is low the value is 25 when it is triggered it goes to 195.I set the high to be >190. I put "print()" in both the monitor script and the lowpowermonitoring script and if reads >25 in both.
As usual still not working.
Watching the LowPowermonitor script run, it runs through the script - does not "WaitForChange" Prints >25
You could do it slightly differently and add in another script that's always running which checks the ADC value and if it's above a certain value it sets a variable, if below it changes the variable... i.e.
Code:
When the PIR is triggered it will set $motion to 1. When it's not then $motion is reset to 0
You can then use $motion in your original script to replace the GetDigital() command
I applied your new script and it senses the change as does the "Monitoring script" but nothing happens. I must have something out of place in the "monitoring script" below;
Code:
Thanks
Code:
This is all from memory and without ARC. It looked like you had it detecting motion when there was none and vice versa. This was causing it to reset the timer and start again.
You could remove the whole converting it to 0 or 1 though, it's pretty redundant.

Thanks, we are getting closer. Thanks for the nice comments you said about my project.
Here's what I ended up with;
Code:
Thanks again for everyone's help.
Standby though, I'm working on another script, so you know I'll be calling on the community for help.
