[newbie] Help with multi-channel sketch!

[n0ir]

Hi!

I'm trying to build a replacement for my Fibaro Universal Sensor using a Z-Uno (mainly because the Z-Uno support Z-Wave+).

I want to connect 4 DSB18B20 temperature sensors, 1 input from an existing relay (on the Fibaro Universal Sensor this input was connected to one of the binary sensor inputs) and 1 HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Distance Module (this was not connected to the Fibaro Universal Sensor).

I am still working out using sketches and would like some guidance how to implement multiple devices in the same sketch. Could I have one text file (.ino) for each sensor type and then upload it to the Z-Uno as a combined bootloader? Can I use three ready-made examples (one for temperature, one for the relay and one for distance) in the same sketch and upload these together to the Z-Uno?

Sorry if this is really simple! I am no programmer and is currently just using available snippets of code...

Hi,

you have to use one single *.ino file with all the definitions of the different sensors and inputs.

There is the 10-channel example that uses different types of sensors and I think this is a good starting point.

The code is fairly simple and should give you everything you need.

Regards,
Andreas.

Thank you for your help!

I have used the 10-channel example as a base for my device, but my lack of coding experience is showing... :S

Because I want to use 4 x DSB18B20 I have included the OneWire Library as described in the this tutorial http://www.tweaking4all.com/hardware/ar ... re-sensor/.

However, I can't seem to understand what kind of input to use for the relay. The relay is connected to a electrical device (a heater) that outputs a 230V current when something as wrong (like an alarm). This is used to turn on a light/siren. I have connected a NO relay to this output, so when something is wrong with the device this changes the relay to closed.

Should I use a motion sensor for this relay or something else?

I read something about ZUNO_SENSOR_BINARY_HEAT(getter) in the http://z-uno.z-wave.me/Reference/ZUNO_SENSOR_BINARY/. Would this be more fitting?

I think it maybe too complicated with many "ping-pong" here at the forum ...

If you like I can explain some steps via Skype -if you use it, maybe more effective.
Write me a PM with your Skype account, I will contact you then.
