Execute a command only once

Postby Playagood » Thu Feb 28, 2013 7:28 pm

Hi,

I have a code that allows me to control a led from my pc to a microcontroller.The led goes on and off.

The problem:

-When I press the "Light On" button: It takes 2 seconds to light on.
-When I press the "Light Off" button: It goes off right away.

I would understand the 2 seconds because I put a sleep(2), but why is the light goes off with no delay.How can I get no delay on both side (I put ths 2 seconds sleep because deviceOpen reset the microcontroller and it takes about this time to be ready)

So, what I think I need to do: Make sur that the connection with the microcontroller get execute only one time.


Please help me. Thank you (all codes found online. all open source)

alright, i don't have php_serial.class.php,so i couldn't really test but I think this will work all the same. This code will persist the same serial connection via a session variable, and utilizes a singleton approach on both the session and the serial connection to avoid multiple instances. Let me know if it fails, or if you have any questions about the changes i've made.
Code: Select all


<?php
Session::start();
?>

Ok...the web page appears as it should. When I try to light the led on, nothing happens. The Arduino doesn't receive any signal...the Rx/Tx lights doesn't blinking on the Arduino.

I have created an arduino.php with your code inside:

Code: Select all
<?php
Session::start();
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>

    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

        <p><a href="<?= $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . "?action=greenon" ?>">
                Click here to turn the GREEN LED on.</a></p>
        <p><a href="<?= $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . "?action=greenoff" ?>">
                Click here to turn the GREEN LED off.</a></p>
        <p><a href="<?= $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . "?action=close" ?>">
                Click here to close the serial connection.</a></p>

    </body>
</html>

<?php
include("php_serial.class.php");
$serial = new MyLed();
if (isset($_GET['action'])){
    if ($_GET['action']=='greenon'){
        $serial->turnOn();
    }
    if ($_GET['action']=='greenoff'){
        $serial->turnOff();
    }
    if ($_GET['action']=='close'){
        $serial->close();
    }
}

 
class Session {
   
    //this is a flag to make sure we can only start a session if one has not already been started
    private static $_sessionStarted = false;
   
    /*
     *
     * function start
     * checks if session has been started already, if not, it starts one and
     * sets the flag to let future calls know to be ignored.
     *
     */
    public static function start(){
        if (! self::$_sessionStarted){
            session_start();
            self::$_sessionStarted = true;
        }
    }
}
class MyLed extends phpSerial {

    public static $instance;
    protected $ledState;

    public static function getInstance() {
        if (!self::$instance) {
            if (! $_SESSION['led']){
            self::$instance = new myLed();   
            } else {
                self::$instance = $_SESSION['led'];
            }
        }
        return self::$instance;
    }

    function __construct($device = '/dev/ttyACM0', $baud = 115200) {
        $this->deviceSet = $device;
        $this->confBaudRate = $baud;
        $this->deviceOpen();
        $_SESSION['led']=  $this;
        self::$instance = $_SESSION['led'];
    }
    public function turnOn(){
        $this->sendMessage("1");
        $this->ledState=1;
    }
    public function turnOff(){
        $this->sendMessage("2");
        $this->ledState=0;
    }
    public function checkState(){
        return ($this->ledState==1)?'on':'off';
    }
}

are you getting any errors? maybe put in some echo's to write to the screen as things are clicked to make sure that the functions are being entered correctly
