On the other hand, I absolutely love the advice to "functionalize" the function. It's a UNIX philosophy to write smaller functions that just do one thing only. It's especially evident in procedural languages

Also it probably worths pointing out that while I do program with most-recent compilers, I still write small programs compatible with older standards, when it wouldn't cost me much.

Alright, let's say it's a matter of taste then. I still think there should be just one way of writing code. It's personally harder for me to read code with odd formatting. And by "odd" I mean different. If brackets are on one level, it's less motion for the eyes

And while on the subject, note that in the final result the binary() function proto formatting differs slightly from the other functions. For consistency, I'd declare all functions with spaces in the syntax and call them without.

Yep, everything is just so, I only would consider the {} formatting to be a terrible idea in terms of readability :)

Yes, thank you

the speed controller the 94$ motor has actually provides charging board as far as I understood

Yes each battery should probably have a termistor

and use the Arduino to control it

Maybe use the friction of the motors to generate 5V and supply that electronics for the bicycle

I will also put my Arduino to some use

if I had to

would take much time to implement all that

and diode and perhaps resistor

and a capacitor

to make a stable psu

Instead of buying all those bcbs, if the BMS isn't very expensive, it is better to just buy one good BMS

a diode at the negative side for the reverse polarity protection

for the undervoltage

I hope it is not very expensive

So there could be more economic riding

And the motor also have speed controller and throttle

which is not bad for 100$

or so

For 14 lg batteries I think I can move the bicycle for an hour

That's a good option to save money yes. They often sell the blue ones

and they still have 3.7volts/20 amps

I am quite satisfied with the LGs I have, they've been unused for months

never trust batteries that claim to have more than 3500-4000 mAh

Usually I watch for price and mAh

It is very hard to determine which battery is fake through ebay though

@Dampmaskin That would explain why battery packs are so expensive. 14 of those batteries already cost 105$

I think those exact batteries are very good for this (Yes, electric bicycle), if something drains 3 amps for an hour, one battery can last for around 6 hours. If it is 14 of them, I can afford 42 amps for 6 hours at 3.7V

Those batteries are LG HG2 li-ions. Very expensive

So I need 14 batteries. That will make 1000W and 48V and 3000mAh. Seems like I will dry them very easily

@MichelKeijzers Yes, this is why I initially suggested it. Anyway what you plan to accomplish is very useful and I don't see why you wouldn't have success in mass-selling it too if you desire to.

A device that can send MIDI devices? Hm. About the program, it's generally used to translate midi messages, I find it for very well-written. It has clear interface that hides a lot of advanced functionality.

@MichelKeijzers Bome MIDI translator PRO. It of course requires writing driver. Also I hear you don't want laptop on-stage, but such software code can be embedded into your own computerized device, with a few (or a lot) modifications nonetheless.

@MichelKeijzers Midi message changer? That would be.. remaping MIDI messages? It is useful, there is one very good, though paid software (It was actually hard to find it) that does that. (p.s Synthesizers are more complicated then plain midi keyboards afaik)

@MichelKeijzers I agree.. and there is a potent relation between programming and electrical engineering. Are you experimenting with real midi devices? You can get rubbish midi devices and get parts from them. Then use a digital programmer and machine code to reprogram them.

@MichelKeijzers I play on midi keyboard :d I am really looking forward in the implementation of your project(s) too!

@CodeGorilla there is no computer near the place I intend to mount the alarm (I called the project "AllArm" it's catchy), also I plan to make it electricity-independent (Well more like house electrification-independent). The screen I need for varying diverse configuration of the behavior and yes, you are right - eventually for showing pictures as well. I will be auto-calling police after all, they must know who are they looking for.

@MichelKeijzers Thank you Michel. I am not a give-upper, I know there is a solution for everything. My programming experience has proven it.

@MichelKeijzers We have very limited resources unfortunately. And we only need to protect a room.. it's a small apartment.

@CodeGorilla What if I buy second arduino, optimized for the screen only and connect it to the main arduino creating I2C bus. I also bought motion sensor as a condition to activate the camera, I bought 4 li-ion lg batteries for independent power supply.

It will be suspicious if it was white huh

why is this black xDDDDDDDDd

this is easy
