Program Discussion
The
retrieves data from StampPlot, which is used in setting the ADC span and offset based on
desired temperature range. In this program, values are read and used slightly differently
than in the previous activity. The
instead of 5 for 0.5 V as it was in Activity #2. This affects the math for calculating
temperature and PWM. The span is calculated by having StampPlot return the difference
between the upper and lower temperature settings.
The Fan and Heater controls are read as a 1 (on) or 0 (off), based on whether the virtual
switch is up or down. These values are used to directly control the BASIC Stamp
outputs. For example,
of the BJT powering the resistor.
