Help with Switch/Case/Break statement
-
Hi,
I'm working on building a pump to empty my De-humidifier for me automatically. I have the components connected, but I cannot get the Switch/Case statement to work/compile for me. I'm not sure where i'm going wrong. The compiler complains about a duplicate case, but i'm not sure why. I know it's in the LOW_WATER statement. This is the first time i've used this form of statement; i'm probably missing something small. Any help is appreciated.

It could be that my c programming skills are inadequate, but I have not seen case statements like that earlier. This is how they usually look:
switch (Depth) { case LOW_WATER: digitalWrite(RELAY_PIN. RELAY_OFF); send(msgRelay.set (0)); SEND_FLOW = 1; break; case HIGH_WATER: digitalWrite(RELAY_PIN, RELAY_ON); send(msgRelay.set(1)); break; default: send(msgDepth.set(Depth)); previousDepth = Depth; break; }What is the intention with the last case (!= Depth)? You are checking if the Depth variable is not equal to itself? When would that happen?
-
You are using switch wrong here..
- you compare Depth (int) with a character (' '). (first two case is starting with an '=' so this is probably what triggers it).
- you can not use = / != in case statements.
- If a case is executed all others are ignored.
- switch / case is normally used with constants (for the case statements)
I would suggest to rewrite it to use if sentences instead, as switches is not well suited for the purpose that you have.
(Strings is denoted with double quotes ", while single quotes ' denotes a single character)
for more info on switch / case, you could read this as a starter
-
I'm trying to set it up so that if the depth changes, it will report the new one back to the HA controller.
I was working with the IF/Else statemetns at first, but my Arduino kept running the code and clogging my serial console and sending reports to my HA controller. I was going to use a sleep command to make it only check once every X seconds/minutes, but I wanted to be able to add a manual empty switch for emergency use. Since the If/Else was clogging the console, thought Switch/Case would work better.
I'll keep looking into this. Thanks for the help.

You have two states, right? High and low.
High starts pump, and low stops it.
Then make your code only transmit on state changes. And the depth indicator should only transmit when it's different from the one that got transmitted the last time. (on my phone so can't write that much code here)
-
Yes, high stats it low stops it.
I have been working with the IF statements but I am still having an issue. I'm getting some weird behaviour with the code. When it first starts up and the ultrasonic sensor is more than ~5cm from an object, it works ok and the relay stays off. If I put something close in front of the sensor, the relay turns on but it keeps spamming the message to the gateway (even when it should not). Also, if you move that object away from the front of the ultrasonic sensor, the relay stays on.

I think i've got it; but for some reason my sensor is a lot more sensitive when using my sketch versus the example one that came with the library. I can go to a reliable resolution of up to 2-5CM using the example sketch; and only ~10 (the cutoff limit I was using in the sketch) when all combined.

Ok, did a bit more digging. I think I finally got this.
Mixed up in my mind how I wanted to measure the water level. Think I have the logic finally figured out in my illogical head.
Thanks for all the help guys; good to network brains every once in while

I see a couple of issues with the code in your loop() function
First off, you need to use digitalRead(RELAY_PIN) == HIGH to get the state of the relay pin, instead of RELAY_PIN == HIGH.
Another thing, the last else if() will never be called, since you set RELAY_PIN low, earlier in your code when water level is below LOW_WATER, so it will always be low when you reach the last if clause.
Also, I would suggest you report water volume every time I report distance, as they are related. (right now you only report when the water is below LOW_WATER level)
Below routine will check water levels, and control relay based on that, and always report back depth / volume, regardless of pump is active or not. (then you can also check how fast it increase / decrease)
I would suggest that you set the wait() time to a larger value than 100 (right now, it's set to check every 100mS, which is a bit too frequent in my opinion..)
void loop() { unsigned long currentMillis = millis(); Distance = sonar.ping_cm(); waterDepth = (bucketDepth - Distance); if (waterDepth >= HIGH_WATER && SEND_FLOW == 0){ digitalWrite(RELAY_PIN, HIGH); send(msgRelay.set(1)); SEND_FLOW = 1; } else if ( (waterDepth <= LOW_WATER) && SEND_FLOW == 1) { digitalWrite(RELAY_PIN, LOW); send(msgRelay.set (0)); SEND_FLOW = 0; } if ( (currentMillis - previousMillis) >= reportMillis) { send(msgDepth.set(Distance)); send(msgPrefix.set("CM")); WATER_VOLUME = ((((sq(RADIUS)) * 3.14) * (bucketDepth - waterDepth)) / 1000); send(msgVolume.set(WATER_VOLUME)); previousMillis = currentMillis; } wait(100); }

Thanks for the help. I see now where I was going wrong. I have everything working as expected. The only thing I needed to do was add some special commands to the message statement. For some reason, the relay would not turn off when the water low level was reached; used this below as a counter for now.
Thanks again.
