Hi All,
I'm using an Ultrasonic Sensor to determine the level of fuel in a storage tank.
This Sensor puts out a 0 to 5 Volt analog signal depending on the level in the tank.
This problem appears when the analog voltage is 1 Volt or less.
I'm using If ... Then's to determine the current fuel level. Every level seems to
be fine except for Screen21 and Screen19 just above the "End" statement. For
some unknown reason, Screen21 & Screen19 alternate when this code is running.
(When the analog voltage is .5 Volt, Screen21 should be called up. When the
voltage is 1 Volt, Screen19 should be on). I've put the following code line in my
program in order to troubleshoot this problem without success:
Debug 12, "Value: ", Bin8 A2D_V 'Display the Binary value
Any Help at all, will be greatly appreciated!!!
