Stand alone Arduino Code for the bargraph?

in_the_city · September 7, 2022, 9:35pm

I was wondering if anyone can help me out.

Due to my own … lack of dexterity and misfortune I am in a situation where I have to figure out a standalone solution for my thrower’s bargraph.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a standalone, solution? Maybe something that just cycles on a loop?

My Arduino programing skills just aren’t up to this one right now and I am willing to ask for help from people smarter than me.

Any assistance is appreciated.

You could buy one of Jupiter Electronics’ Trap bar graph kits and use that as a stand-alone thrower bargraph?

Here’s my code that uses a SX1509 with an arduino to display the bargraph. Has an idle sequence, and firing sequence

Arduino/bargraph_code/bargraph_code.ino

master

#include <Wire.h> // Include the I2C library (required)
#include <SparkFunSX1509.h> // Include SX1509 library

// SX1509 I2C address (set by ADDR1 and ADDR0 (00 by default):
const byte SX1509_ADDRESS = 0x3E;  // SX1509 I2C address
SX1509 io; // Create an SX1509 object to be used throughout

// bargraph helper variables
int seq_1_current = 0;  // current led in sequence 1
const int num_led = 15; // total number of leds in bar graph

// SX1509 pin definitions for the leds on the graph:
const byte SX1509_BAR_01 = 0;
const byte SX1509_BAR_02 = 1;
const byte SX1509_BAR_03 = 2;
const byte SX1509_BAR_04 = 3;
const byte SX1509_BAR_05 = 4;
const byte SX1509_BAR_06 = 5;
const byte SX1509_BAR_07 = 6;
const byte SX1509_BAR_08 = 7;
