its working spinnaker. 100% just cant get that part of the code to function. current setup includes one led and, one servo to verify just that. Keep saying its the code lol. If I didnt make it abundandly clear. Im still very much a noob with coding. I'm just getting to where I understand other peoples code. sure cannot correct my own.

 

I see you are just calling your variables bluetooth.

Do you have a scope or logic analyzer? If so can you see data being transmitted to the Arduino and arriving on the expected pin?

Where is your schematic by the way?

You need to articulate exactly what you are trying to do and what is not working (exactly not in general terms).

 

What happens here for example?

unsigned int servopos = bluetooth.read();
unsigned int servopos1 = bluetooth.read();

Use you debugger or the terminal to echo values and see if you are getting the values that you expect.

 

Also you might want to try a listen function.

Looks like it is for the use of two ports but it would not hurt to try it.

 

What software is sending data to the Arduino? If it s a terminal software then it may be sending data different from what you might expect. For example if you are typing a 1 what is actually being sent is a 49

When reading the value to control the servos, the code calls the function bluetooth.read; when reading the values for the LED, the code calls the function Serial.read.

 

The six servos that you control are being sent each a number between 0 and 180, corresponding to the desired angle.
In order to simplify the command protocol, these six, 0-180 counts are each offset by 1000*(servo_index), allowing every pair of bytes sent to be significant, but causing big problems if you get out of sync and making it near impossible to debug visually, due to the strictly binary format
Is your Android program sending numbers in the correct format (i.e., 0-180, 1000-1180, 2000-2180 etc)?

A look at the Ardudroid program you mentioned shows that it would have been a satisfactory framework for what you are doing, except that it only has four sliders, not six.

 

Its definitely an issue with my code. sure wish someone would just point out what. Dj you made a good point. I tried replacing the serial.read with a bluetooth.read actually had tried that before I posted. no change.

You you only answer half of the questions asked, how do you expect people to help you?
