Help with PING))) for project

RonP

Hello All,

My project is using a PING))) Sensor to detect if people are present to turn on a few things in short. More Later.

My problem is that the ultrasonic sound bounces differently of different material "i wasn't expecting that". I haven't really played with my stamps or boe-bot for about 3 years so pretty rusty was never really good at in the first place. Need help time is running out for this project. The project is going into a RC Scale Helicopter for a friend of mine that will be on static display at this years AMA Expo in Ontario, CA this weekend in fact. Basically the PING))) sences if people are present and turn on a few things Lights, Windshield Wiper Servo(continuous rotation) and a Search Light Servo(standard servo).

What i think i need is some way to count if the PING))) get's hit like 10 times or something then turn stuff on, so that it doesnt get hit by people walking by someone would have to be standing there looking at the Heli.

Thanks in advance for your HELP and suggestions.

Program is very sloppy now sorry but need to get this Posted.

Here is the Program cleaned up a little.

Right now if the PING))) senses something at 20 in it turns things on. Need to do something to make it not turn on until i senses something like 10 times, within a given period of time.

Thanks again for and HELP.

i would try using a counter then goto type directive...

like if inches < zone1 then gosub·timer

timer:

if inches > zone1 then time = 0 ' reset the wait time if target goes out of range

pause 1000

time = time +1

if time = 10 then goto activate

else goto timer

activate:

' what you want to do

of course this is not workable code, but hopefully you see what im getting at here. i would start with this idea·and see what it does.
