Chainlink: Magnet check #198

Closed gorwah closed 8 months ago

gorwah commented 2 years ago

If I’m making a chainlink system (no Arduino), then how do I check that the magnet is in the right direction?

I had the same question. Looking at the code, I think you can set SENSOR_TEST to true in arduino/splitflap/Splitflap/config.h and upload to the device using platformio and the chainlink env. You connect the sensor to the chainlink board as you would in the final assembly. The esp32 will output the state of the first five sensor ports over serial.

I'm unable to test this because my chainlink boards have not arrived.

@mattsains that's what I have done and the program runs, I think it prints 0 when the magnet is not detected. I have not been able to make it display 1 though

Setting SENSOR_TEST should work as https://github.com/scottbez1/splitflap/issues/198#issuecomment-1078515102 mentioned, or an easier approach would be to send % via serial to toggle between sensor test mode and normal mode.
