hi to every one,
i need some little help from you, if its possible,
i made a simple inclinometer with a potentiometer, reads from -135 to 135 on my lcd , so there are even 2 leds and a buzzer, when the potentiometer reads more than -15 the red led and the buzzer turns on, and when it reads more than 15 the green led and the buzzer turns on. all is working fine.
i just want to delay the buzzer, 1 sec on 5 sec off, and i tried every thing, but when i delay the buzzer it delays me the analog signal from the potentiometer too.
i am new with arduino and codes.
here is my code

Code: Select all

int ledpinred = 13;
int ledpingreen = 12;
int buzzerpin = 11;
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>

LiquidCrystal lcd(8, 9, 4, 5, 6, 7); // select the pins used on the LCD panel

// the setup routine runs once when you press reset:
void setup() {
// initialize serial communication at 9600 bits per second:
Serial.begin(9600);
lcd.begin(16, 2); // start the library
lcd.print(" INCLINOMETER"); // title of sorts,
pinMode(ledpinred,OUTPUT);
pinMode(ledpingreen,OUTPUT);
pinMode(buzzerpin,OUTPUT);
}

// the loop routine runs over and over again forever:
void loop() {


int sensorValue = analogRead(A1);

float angle = map (sensorValue, 0, 1023, -135, +135);
// print out the value you read:
Serial.print("current angle (o): ");
Serial.println(angle);
lcd.setCursor(0, 1); // set the LCD cursor position
lcd.print(angle); //display final degrees
//print the degrees symbol at the end
lcd.print("o");
//wait 0.1 seconds
delay(100);
//wipe the extra characters
lcd.print(" ");
delay(1);
if (angle < -15){
digitalWrite(ledpinred,HIGH);
digitalWrite(buzzerpin,HIGH);
delay(1000);
digitalWrite(buzzerpin,LOW);
delay(5000);}
else{
digitalWrite(ledpinred,LOW);
}
if (angle > 15){
digitalWrite(ledpingreen,HIGH);
digitalWrite(buzzerpin,HIGH);
delay(1000);
digitalWrite(buzzerpin,LOW);
delay(5000);}
else{
digitalWrite(ledpingreen,LOW);}}

thanks in advance

Use a bunch of little delays and a counter in a loop while checking what needs to be checked vs. one big delay where you check what you need to check before and after aforementioned big delay.
So, you haven't tried everything.
Put your code inside tags.
