Techniques - Selecting |
| Selecting can be done in two ways, analogue or digital. The technique shown below shows an analogue resistive ladder with tapping points. This is handy if you run out of digital pins. |

valInstSelect = analogRead(4); valRange = valInstSelect; // Resistor change range 0, 203, 408, 613, 819, 1023. see analog test routine. if (valRange <=100) // Is it Piano { instrument_type1 = acoustic_grand_piano; } else if(valRange <=250) // Is it a piccolo { instrument_type1 = piccolo; } else if(valRange <=500) // Is it jazz guitar { instrument_type1 = electric_guitar_jazz; } else if(valRange <=700) // Is it slow strings { instrument_type1 = slow_strings; } else if(valRange <=900) // Is it a cello { instrument_type1 = cello; } else if(valRange <1050) // Is it choir aahs { instrument_type1 = choir_aahs; } |
This technique uses two input digital pins on the Arduino set to HI, the output BA == 00,01,10,11.
