Keypad control not working

@kobusven95

To fix the compile time error change ...

switch (confkey)

to

switch (confkey.asInt())

That will extract the string's integer value for use in the switch statement.

@will Great - thanks a mil - however it is switch (confkey.toInt()) 🙂

@kobusven95 

Damn ! I simply can't function before my morning coffee 🙂

@kobusven95

More problems I found on a quick scan. I presume some off these are due to this being a work in progress so you can ignore them (except for the last one which will bite you eventually 🙂

num - never set

confkey - never set

if ((IRAval1<=0)&&(IRAval2=0))

should be

if ((IRAval1<=0)&&(IRAval2==0))

the second equals turns it from an assignment to a logical test

@will thanks again.

String confkey;
int num;

I changed that strings as suggested. Should I change the second string as well?

if ((IRAval1>=1)&&(IRAval2>=1))

But I messed something up now bigtime - my screen keep scrolling...

Back to the drawing board...

@kobusven95 

No, the second test is valid because it's already in the form of a test with a logical result.

The problem with (IRAval2=0)) is that it SETS THE VALUE of IRAval2 TO zero. Adding the second equals changes that operation to a logical value (is IRAval2 equal to zero).

A subtle change but a huge difference. The expressions <,>,<=,>= don't correspond to any normal arithmetic operation and are easily recognized to have logical result values, but the distinction is required in the case of = because it does have a valid meaning in itself (i.e. value assignment).

@will Thanks for the explanation

May I ask another question please?

I have changed the sketch as follows:

void setup()
{
// Stepper PINS
//Definition of the pins, remember where you need
   Serial.begin(9600);
   StepMot.setSpeed(motSpeed);
   tft.reset();
// IRA
   pinMode(IRSensor1, INPUT);
   pinMode(IRSensor2, INPUT);
// LCD
   uint16_t id = tft.readID();
   tft.begin(id);
   tft.setRotation(1);
   tft.fillScreen(WHITE);
   tft.setTextColor(BLUE, WHITE);
// LED
   pinMode (BY_1, OUTPUT);
   pinMode (BY_2, OUTPUT);
   pinMode (BG_1, OUTPUT);
   pinMode (BG_2, OUTPUT);
// Initialize LCD
   tft.setTextSize(2);
   tft.setTextColor(BLACK);
   tft.setCursor(0, 0);
   tft.fillScreen(WHITE);
   tft.println("-------------------------"); // Static line 1
   tft.println(" To select a Locomotive "); // Static line 2
   tft.println(" Press the loco sched no "); // Static line 3
   tft.println("-------------------------"); // Static line 1
}

However, it seems it now forms an infinite loop, on the screen - the output on the serial monitor shows output from 1 to 8, then back to 1.

Any ideas - I also moved the screen initialize from the loop to the setup, to see if that solves it, but no luck.

@kobusven95 

You can ask as many questions as you want 🙂

It's impossible to answer this particular question though, because it seems that all you've shown us is the setup() and no loop().

It's the loop method that cycles, so the cause is most likely in there somewhere.

Also, your code is unindented and hard for us follow. To post code you should select the code in the Arduino IDE (usually select all) and then choose "copy as HTML" to copy the selected text. Then switch over to the browser and position the cursor about where you want the code. Then press return a couple of times to insert a couple of blank lines. Then click the "{;}" icon above the reply box (that'll put you in an HTML environment, so don't worry, you haven's screwed up when it goes all squirrelly) and position the cursor between a pair of <p></p> (the blank lines you made earlier) and paste the code in between a </p> and <p>.

If you click the Preview button below the reply box, you'll see how it will be displayed on the forum.

@will Nice - I see it have a option to copy for FORUM as well.
