I’m making a pH sensor program/machine. This is my code but my LCD display is merely lighting up. It’s not displaying anything when I run it but my serial monitor displays the pH levels just fine.
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
#define SensorPin 0 // the pH meter Analog output is connected with the Arduino’s Analog
unsigned long int avgValue; //Store the average value of the sensor feedback
float b;
int buf[10],temp;
LiquidCrystal lcd(2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7);
void setup()
{
pinMode(13,OUTPUT);
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println("Ready"); //Test the serial monitor
lcd.begin(16, 2);
}
void loop()
{
for(int i=0;i<10;i++) //Get 10 sample value from the sensor for smooth the value
{
buf[i]=analogRead(SensorPin);
delay(10);
}
for(int i=0;i<9;i++) //sort the analog from small to large
{
for(int j=i+1;j<10;j++)
{
if(buf[i]>buf[j])
{
temp=buf[i];
buf[i]=buf[j];
buf[j]=temp;
}
}
}
avgValue=0;
for(int i=2;i<8;i++) //take the average value of 6 center sample
avgValue+=buf[i];
float phValue=(float)avgValue*5.0/1024/6; //convert the analog into millivolt
phValue=3.5*phValue; //convert the millivolt into pH value
Serial.print(" pH:");
Serial.print(phValue,2);
Serial.println(" ");
digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
delay(800);
digitalWrite(13, LOW);
lcd.print(phValue,2);
}
I tried placing the lcd.print all around the code already. Only the serial monitor values are showing up, but not even in the LCD Display itself.
