[Dprglist] Arduino Code Troubles

[Pat Caron]

Hi guys, here is a better example to show what is happening taken from
actual code:

.... other code
  for (uint8_t x = 0; x < (SONAR_NUM + IR_NUM); x++) {  // SONAR_NUM +
IR_NUM = 8
    if ((cm[x] == 0) || (cm[x] > maxDistance)) {
      cm[x] = 999;
    }
  sendData();
  }

Printed values cm[0] to cm[5] (us_Left to ir_Right) without the above if
statement
| us_Left = 0cm | us_Mid = 95cm | us_Right = 51cm | ir_Left = 84cm |
ir_Right = 252cm | Time = 45mS

Printed values cm[0] to cm[5] with the above if statement
\| us_Left = 999cm | us_Mid = 999cm | us_Right = 999cm | ir_Left = 999cm |
ir_Right = 999cm | Time = 44mS
