Making my plant to say more things

[sved]

Hi all,

I tried to modify the code of the botnaicalls through arduino but am still a beginner in it. Basically, I wanted the plant to say something different for different level of humidity. To do so, i added more tweets, more variables and replicated the code part for intermediate values. My problem, when the humidity is too high, the plant tweets repeatedly the higher value I put (625)… you can check it here https://twitter.com/#!/Live_nature

I’ll try to put here the parts of the code I modified compared to the original one, every help is very welcome!

#define TWEET_DRY “Oh I am SO thirsty” //300

#define TWEET_DRYA “No, really, I need water” //325

#define TWEET_DRYB “What about a drink? Or two?” //350

#define TWEET_DRYC “Is it just me or it’s dry here?” //375

#define TWEET_DRYD “Nice weather, a bit dry though” //400

#define TWEET_MOIST “Maybe a bit of fresh air?” //425

#define TWEET_MOISTA “I just love the smell around” //450

#define TWEET_MOISTB “I like the ambient here, very cosy” //475

#define TWEET_MOISTC “Like bloomin’ all over again” //500

#define TWEET_MOISTD “Isn’t today the perfect day?” //525

#define TWEET_MOISTE “That’s the way I like it” //550

#define TWEET_SOAKED “This is just perfect” //575

#define TWEET_SOAKA “Hmmmmmmm… nice” //600

#define TWEET_SOAKB “This soil feels SO good” //625

#define TWEET_SOAKC “It’s a bit on the wet side” //650

#define TWEET_SOAKD “Damp & humid, tropical style” //675

#define TWEET_SOAKE “I forgot my swimsuit…” //700

#define TWEET_SOAKF “Yes I like water, but…” //725

#define TWEET_SOAKG “Oh dear, I’m drowning” //750

#define THANK_YOU “Much appreciated, thanks!”

#define OVER_WATERED “Thanks, but I just been watered”

#define UNDER_WATERED “A bit more, please?”

And in the checks tab:

///return values

if ((moistAverage < 300) && (lastMoistAvg >= 300) && state < 15 && (millis() > (lastTwitterTime + TWITTER_INTERVAL)) ) {

Serial.println(“DRY tweet”);

}

}

else if ((moistAverage < 575) && (lastMoistAvg >= 575) && state < 4 && (millis() > (lastTwitterTime + TWITTER_INTERVAL)) ) {

Serial.println(“SOAKEDA tweet”);

posttweet(TWEET_SOAKA); // announce to Twitter

state = 4; // remember this message

}

else if ((moistAverage < 600) && (lastMoistAvg >= 600) && state < 3 && (millis() > (lastTwitterTime + TWITTER_INTERVAL)) ) {

Serial.println(“SOAKEDB tweet”);

posttweet(TWEET_SOAKB); // announce to Twitter

state = 3; // remember this message

}

else if ((moistAverage < 625) && (lastMoistAvg >= 625) && state < 2 && (millis() > (lastTwitterTime + TWITTER_INTERVAL)) ) {

Serial.println(“SOAKEDC tweet”);

posttweet(TWEET_SOAKC); // announce to Twitter

state = 2; // remember this message

}

else if (moistAverage > 625) {

state = 1; // reset to messages not yet sent state

}

lastMoistAvg = moistAverage; // record this moisture average for comparison the next time this function is called

moistLight(moistAverage);

}

}

I guess it’s quite a dirty way, so any advice or direction would be helpful, thanks!
