OMG just found this...Really how dangerous is that thing ! Instructables should have taken this down a LONG time ago. That is HOW NOT to make a multitool unless you are looking for an injury.

Just been given some ATTINY 13A and already have a home made shield that works great for for 45's and 85's but I get the following and wonder if these is any way to sort this out ?Using IDE 1.8.3 or above all give the same issue under win 7 X64 pro." avrdude: Version 6.3, compiled on Jan 17 2017 at 12:00:53Copyright (c) 2000-2005 Brian Dean, http://www.bdmicro.com/ Copyright (c) 2007-2014 Joerg Wunsch System wide configuration file is "d:\Users\Bob\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\diy_attiny\hardware\avr\2017.10.29/avrdude.conf" Using Port : COM20 Using Programmer : stk500v1 Overriding Baud Rate : 19200 AVR Part : ATtiny13 Chip Erase delay : 40…

Using the second sketch I get the following."sketch_oct20d:44: error: 'interruptSetup' was not declared in this scope interruptSetup(); // sets up to read Pulse Sensor signal every 2mSd:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Temp\arduino_modified_sketch_578464\sketch_oct20d.ino: In function 'void loop()':sketch_oct20d:62: error: 'serialOutput' was not declared in this scope serialOutput() ;sketch_oct20d:69: error: 'serialOutputWhenBeatHappens' was not declared in this scope serialOutputWhenBeatHappens(); // A Beat Happened, Output that to serial.exit status 1'interruptSetup' was not declared in this scope"

You might want to attach the code as a zip file as the code above does not compile.Maybe because it isn't set as code but regular text in instructables ?Arduino: 1.8.3 (Windows 7), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Uno"Build options changed, rebuilding all In function 'void setup()':sketch_aug28a:47: error: 'interruptSetup' was not declared in this scope interruptSetup(); // sets up to read Pulse Sensor signal every 2mS // IF YOU ARE POWERING The Pulse Sensor AT VOLTAGE LESS THAN THE BOARD VOLTAGE, // UN-COMMENT THE NEXT LINE AND APPLY THAT VOLTAGE TO THE A-REF PIN // ^d:\Users\Bob\AppData\Local\Temp\arduino_modified_sketch_961500\sketch_aug28a.ino: In function 'void loop()':sketch_aug28a:55: error: 'serialOutput' was not declared in this scope serialOutput(); …

Yea I found it a while ago thanks anyways.

Links need to be properly formed and some need to work.. Authors lib link just gives me errors.

Your best bet is going to be asking over at the Arduino forumshttps://forum.arduino.cc/There is a project section which is ideal for your task. An accelerometer approach would probably be a better bet as it could also record the force. The timer countdown is the easiest section of code in there and all you need to do is look at the examples section in the Arduino IDE and look at the "blink" example but just use a small piezo instead or as well as an LED. "// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the boardvoid setup() { // initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output. pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);// define a buzzer pin here}// the loop function runs over and over again forevervoid loop() { digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH); // turn the LED on (H…

The version from Parallax has been updated by a user in the Arduino forumhttp://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=437398.0It is easier and fixes the COM limitations of the Parallax version.. Took me about 15 minutes to get it running data into a live graph

The most common fix for 101 and USB 3.0 issues is to insert a POWERED USB 2.0 hub between the computer and the Arduino.Tends to fix around 95% of the issues seen with USB 3.0A lot depends on the chipset and implementation of USB 3.0 on a particular computer.Some users have said that rolling back Microsoft updates regarding USB has also helped.

I know its a late reply but YES you can hes only using it to control a relay at the end of the day.
- BallscrewBob commented on N.fletch's instructable Solution: avrdude stk500_getsync(): not in sync resp=0x30 error for ArduinoView Instructable »
There are a lot of fixes (and causes) for that particular error.Its an old fix but still valid for some people.For more up to date answers I would suggest a search from inside the http://forum.arduino.cc/ forum to get all the stk 500 answers in a more usable bundle of results.

You might want to update the article soon as codebender is closing down...You could try the Arduino CREATE as that lets you share code too

Have also started to notice manufacturers moving away from steppers to regular DC motors more so in printers and scanners. These also need quite a bit of accuracy esp. the high dpi units so methinks they have found a way to use DC motors without losing the accuracy of a stepper.

Watch out for those breadboard PSU'sThey can go south pretty quick if you draw too much current for a lone period of time. I have 3 in the garbage so far as the regulators on them are not always the best. Better to have a more reliable supply or one that can handle the current. So I recommend check the specs before you buy. I moved to some of the power puck types you can buy and things are a lot better here.

How did you get your guage on your public channel.?I don't get the same screens that you show and can only display on a private channel
- BallscrewBob commented on Rahul27's instructable ESP8266 ESP-12(Standalone)+ Blynk 101
This was a good primer.Some things seem to have changed a little but it still works.Now I just need to play a little to see how far I can take it. I wanted something better than the Arduino MKR1000 that I have because its so unreliable requiring full restarts and such and most of the projects require a paid subscription to Azure. N
OK changed my mind I didn't understand that this is a PAY FOR USE app.Unlike Thingspeak orEasyIOT which are free.

just curious.you call R1 30k and R2 10k yet the schem shows 9k and 3k ?There is quite a difference and I just wondered which one was correct before I attempt this one.I would like to use this with a 7 seg display for my boat battery (12V) and have already made a sketch for it but before I hook it up I want to be sure I am not going to fry anything.Also am going to use a 3.3v pro mini so thinking that I should swap out the 5v (Vout) for 3.3 ??
A picture of the code is not really useful at all.You should include the code properly.
