Arduino Main Code

Arduino
This code takes the signals coming from the 3 sensors and the bluetooth.
unsigned long timeMillis = 0;
unsigned long timeReset = 0;



void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600);      // sets the serial port to 9600
  setup_bluetooth();
  setup_sensor_a();
  setup_sensor_b();
  setup_sensor_c();
  setup_sensor_d();
}

void loop()
{
  loop_bluetooth();
}


void second_loop(){
  timeMillis = millis();
  loop_sensor_a();
  loop_sensor_b();
  loop_sensor_c();
  loop_sensor_d();
}

Arduino Bluettoth Code

Arduino
This code handles the bluetooth connection from the Genuino 101 to a smartphone.
//https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Genuino101CurieBLEHeartRateMonitor
#include <CurieBLE.h>

int const outLED = 13; // customize name
boolean isBluetoothOnline = false;
int const maxSendValue = 255;
int const bluetoothSendDelay = 10;


BLEPeripheral blePeripheral;  // BLE Peripheral Device (the board you're programming)
BLEService bleService("025A7775-49AA-42BD-BBDB-E2AE77782966"); // BLE LED Service

// BLE LED Switch Characteristic - custom 128-bit UUID, read and writable by central
BLEIntCharacteristic switchCharacteristic("F38A2C23-BC54-40FC-BED0-60EDDA139F47", BLERead | BLEWrite | BLENotify);


void setup_bluetooth() {
  pinMode(outLED, OUTPUT);   // initialize the LED on pin 13 to indicate when a central is connected

  // set advertised local name and service UUID:
  blePeripheral.setLocalName("LED");
  blePeripheral.setAdvertisedServiceUuid(bleService.uuid());

  // add service and characteristic:
  blePeripheral.addAttribute(bleService);

  switchCharacteristic.setValue(0);

  // begin advertising BLE service:
  blePeripheral.begin();

}

  // listen for BLE peripherals to connect:
  BLECentral central = blePeripheral.central();

  // if a central is connected to peripheral:
  if (central) {
    Serial.print("Connected to central: ");

      digitalWrite(13, isBluetoothOnline);
      second_loop();
    }

    Serial.print(F("Disconnected from central: "));
    Serial.println(central.address());
    isBluetoothOnline = false;
    digitalWrite(13, isBluetoothOnline);
  }
}

void sendSensorValue(int value) {

  Serial.print("write value: ");
  Serial.println(value, DEC);


  if (value <= maxSendValue) {
    switchCharacteristic.setValue(value);
  } else {
    int loops = (int) floor(value / maxSendValue);
    int modulo = (int) value % maxSendValue;

    for (int i = 0; i < loops; i++) {
      switchCharacteristic.setValue(maxSendValue);
      delay(bluetoothSendDelay);
    }
    if (modulo != 0) {
      switchCharacteristic.setValue(modulo);
    }
  }
}

Arduino Sensor Code

Arduino
This code checks the signals from the conductive copper foils.
int const outputValueA = 0;  // customize name and value.

int const inPinA = 8; // customize name

unsigned long sensorBreakA = 5000;  // customize name
unsigned long sensorBreakTimeA = timeReset; // customize name

void setup_sensor_a() {
  pinMode(inPinA, INPUT); // customize name
  Serial.println("Setup up sensor A : done");
}



void loop_sensor_a() {
  int val = digitalRead(inPinA);  // customize name

  // prüfen, wie lange es dauert, bis er wieder eine prüfung macht
  Serial.println(millis(), DEC);

  // prüfen, wie lange sensor berührt wird
  if (val == 1){
    Serial.println(millis(), DEC);
  }

  if (sensorBreakTimeA == timeReset && val == 1) { // customize name
    sensorBreakTimeA = timeMillis + sensorBreakA; // customize name
    Serial.print("send value : ");
    Serial.println(outputValueA, DEC);
    sendSensorValue(outputValueA);
  } else if (sensorBreakTimeA > timeMillis) { // customize name
    //Serial.println("break :  A");             // customize name
  } else if (sensorBreakTimeA < timeMillis) { // customize name
    sensorBreakTimeA = timeReset;             // customize name
    //Serial.println(val, DEC);
  }
}
