Section 1.1: Library Structure Overview

My library is structured around several key components:

• SteppedSequence: This is the primary object, functioning as the sequence controller. Users can add steps and initiate the sequence by calling Start() and then Run() within the loop.
• Step: Each step in the sequence comes with its own set of conditions and actions. Actions are executed simultaneously once all conditions are satisfied.
• StepAction: This element can consist of one or more steps, with two types of actions currently available:
• StepActionGpio: This action manages a GPIO pin as an output. You can define the pin, its active state, and the duration.
• StepActionServo: This action controls a servo using the Servo.h library, specifying the servo pin, target angle, hold angle, and speed.
• StepCondition: In addition to actions, steps can also include conditions. Actions will only execute once all conditions are fulfilled. There are currently two types of conditions:
• StepConditionDigitalInput: This condition waits for a digital input, such as a button press or an external signal.
• StepConditionDelay: This condition monitors whether a specified duration has elapsed, effectively introducing a delay between steps.

Section 1.2: Example Implementation

Here is a simple example of how to implement the SteppedSequence library:

#include <SteppedSequence.h>

#define START_BUTTON_PIN 2

#define IS_START_BUTTON_PULLUP true

#define PRE_SEQUENCE_DELAY 1000

#define GREEN_LED_PIN 13

#define YELLOW_LED_PIN 12

#define RED_LED_PIN 11

#define GREEN_DURATION 5000

#define YELLOW_DURATION 2000

#define RED_DURATION 5000

SteppedSequence sequence;

Step Step1;

StepConditionDigitalInput Step1Condition(START_BUTTON_PIN, IS_START_BUTTON_PULLUP);

Step Step2;

StepConditionDelay Step2Condition(PRE_SEQUENCE_DELAY);

StepActionGpio Step2Action(GREEN_LED_PIN, HIGH, GREEN_DURATION);

Step Step3;

StepActionGpio Step3Action(YELLOW_LED_PIN, HIGH, YELLOW_DURATION);

Step Step4;

StepActionGpio Step4Action(RED_LED_PIN, HIGH, RED_DURATION);

void setup() {

Serial.begin(9600);

Step1.AddCondition(&Step1Condition);

Step2.AddCondition(&Step2Condition);

Step2.AddAction(&Step2Action);

Step3.AddAction(&Step3Action);

Step4.AddAction(&Step4Action);

sequence.AddStep(&Step1);

sequence.AddStep(&Step2);

sequence.AddStep(&Step3);

sequence.AddStep(&Step4);

sequence.BeginAll();

sequence.Start();

}

void loop() {

static uint16_t lastStep = -1;

sequence.Run();

uint16_t currentStep = sequence.GetCurrentStepIndex();

if (currentStep != lastStep) {

Serial.print("Running step: ");

Serial.println(currentStep);

lastStep = currentStep;

}

}
