I want to chart the quality of the bicycle-lanes i use frequently, and planned to do that by using the Arduino UNO, the Adafruit Ultimate GPS shield and the ADXL345 accelerometer sensor. For the sensor I use the I2C pins on the UNO.
I carefully merged the codes from both libraries "shield-sdlog" and "sensor-test" , removing unused lines of code. see below
Code: Select all
#include <SPI.h>
#include <Adafruit_GPS.h>
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
#include <SD.h>
#include <avr/sleep.h>
#include <Wire.h>
#include <Adafruit_Sensor.h>
#include <Adafruit_ADXL345_U.h>
Adafruit_ADXL345_Unified accel = Adafruit_ADXL345_Unified(12345);
// =============================== SD logging shield ==================================================================
long sync_interval = 30000; // milliseconds between calls to flush() - to write data to the card = 30 seconds
long lastMillis=0;
// uint32_t syncTime = 0; // time of last sync()
//#define yellowLEDpin 4 // control LED pin
//#define greenLEDpin 3 // control LED pin
// Ladyada's logger modified by Bill Greiman to use the SdFat library
//
// This code shows how to listen to the GPS module in an interrupt
// which allows the program to have more 'freedom' - just parse
// when a new NMEA sentence is available! Then access data when
// desired.
//
// Tested and works great with the Adafruit Ultimate GPS Shield
// using MTK33x9 chipset

Running it , resulted in the creation of approx 25 csv-files in one minute, sometimes blank ,sometimes containing a few gps /time and accelerometer data.
As the manufacturer of both the shield and the sensor I was hoping you could come up with a solution for this problem.
