Code for Dual 7 Segment Displays #1

Open pjockey opened 5 years ago

pjockey commented 5 years ago

I'm trying to get this project on Hackster.io up and running, but I'm having a few problems. Instead of using 2 single 7 segment displays for the score, I 'm trying to use the 2-digit like here https://www.tinkerhobby.com/arduino-2-digit-7-segment-display-counter/ thus minimizing the wires required. BUBattlev2.zip I've made some changes to the original BUBattle, but I'm not sure they will work with the other aspects of the project. The Android and Particle parts seem to work, I can select the sport and teams, but nothing is displayed on the scoreboard.

Any help is much appreciated. Sorry if this the wrong place for this.

Anything specific you need help with? You said the Android and Particle parts seem to work? I am assuming that means you have confirmed that the particle photon is getting the scores correctly (with updates) and you are sending them over serial to the Arduino Mega? Are you able to ensure that the Arduino Mega is getting the data through serial?

Android App. Built on Android Studio 3.4 for Android Pie on a Pixel. Built with no errors. The app works as described, except if the Proton is off line, the game does not set, which makes sense. Can't find the Proton, can't set the game.

Proton. The sketch uploaded with the Particle browser version IDE. Builds with no errors. In the Particle Console, if I looked at the data coming into the Proton, all that is shown is the date and the abbreviation for the home team. The Proton is connected to the Mega via Proton TX to Mega RX and Proton RX to Mega TX. At the moment I have each of the devices powered separately.

Mega. Now, I've tried to figure out if the data is getting to the Mega, nothing shows on the serial monitor in the Arduino IDE.

I'm a noob when it comes to programming. Is there another way to monitor the serial data?

Thanks
