PARKINK LOT control.. help

[omani girl]

my project work in ATTINY26 microcontoller.

I used:

infrared sensor

LCD

motor

the number of parking is 20 . I do the program to write full or not full by increment for enterance car only . but the code of infrared sensor dosen't work correctly when I did the implement. I want the LCD read 'NOT FULL'. if the the numbers of car enter is less than 20 . and read Full when it more or equal 20

please check my code. in increment. I think there is some thing missing

After a quick chat, the problem appears to be that the check for whether the sensor is on always triggers.

This is either because the hardware is wrong, or because the check for the sensor is inverted.

If you are sure that you are checking the right pin, you might like to try:

if(x==0){ // check the infrared sensor output
y++;
} // increment counter

But without seeing the circuit, it is impossible to tell.

OK so it's actually just a debouncing issue. Should have spotted that first. Try this instead:

if(x==1){ // check the infrared sensor output
y++;
while(PINB & 1);
} // increment counter
