Work in progress, after days of working to get the separate components of the cloud working independently I now have them working together in the same arduino sketch. The components I am using are the the PIR sensor, the Wav Shield & LED Storm. My system does thus: The PIR sensor is triggered by motion > then the randomized Lightning sequence begins in a randomized cycle followed by a super lightning strike > milli seconds after the super lightning strike is a randomly selected thunder sound, the cloud then waits until the PIR is triggered again.
Here is my code thus far:
#include <FatReader.h>
#include <SdReader.h>
#include <avr/pgmspace.h>
#include “WaveUtil.h”
#include “WaveHC.h”
SdReader card; // This object holds the information for the card
FatVolume vol; // This holds the information for the partition on the card
FatReader root; // This holds the information for the filesystem on the card
FatReader f; // This holds the information for the file we’re play
WaveHC wave; // This is the only wave (audio) object, since we will only play one at a time
int motion_1 = 8;
int light_1 = 13;
