Light Up Cycling Jersey

Step 14 Coding

Now that all the connections are made you are ready to write the code for the jersey.

Here is the link for where you can download the arduino software:

Below is the code I wrote. Feel free to use it.

// these constants describe the pins. They won't change:
const int lightpin = 0;               //reads the power from the light sensor
const int switchp=5;                  //power pin for the relay to the EL wire
const int xpin = 3;                   // x-axis of the accelerometer                  // z-axis (only on 3-axis models)
const int LED1= 8;                    //LED's 1-6 numbered accordingly
const int LED2= 9;
const int LED3= 10;
const int LED4= 11;
const int LED5= 12;
const int LED6= 13;                    

void setup()
{
  // initialize the serial communications:
  Serial.begin(9600);
 
  // Provide ground and power by using the analog inputs as normal
  // digital pins.  This makes it possible to directly connect the
  // breakout board to the Arduino.  If you use the normal 5V and
  // GND pins on the Arduino, you can remove these lines.
