Appreciate the help guys , not sure if he figured it out i went to bed but will let you know

If you need a poll rigged, a mom to bang, or even code, your first stop shop is CP!

link to the moms to bang thread could not find it with search.

Do you have any specs on the RGB strip and how the host system is connected to it (what are the three output pins connected to on the RGB strip)?

Edit: I guess it doesn't really matter.

I'd start by just reading the analog input and putting that value on the three outputs and verify that he can see a color change based off the pressure input.
I think it's been said a few times in this thread already but he needs to break it down into smaller chunks.

I'm not much into coding but the following doesn't make much sense.

valeur4 = random(255);
valeur5 = valeur4;

if (valeur4 > valeur5){
valeur5--;
analogWrite(3,valeur5);

If the values are already equal, why does it have to compare them?

That's a logic error...unreachable code.

Have him change to something other than coding. It looks like french

I’m not a coder, (although I am an engineer by education) but I do know Arduino the company extremely well.

Where you want to go is the Arduino forum https://forum.arduino.cc/
There are 1M members and you are likely to find plenty of good ideas and assistance.

This is a little difficult given the lack of context to the code. I'm assuming the outputs 3,5 & 6 are in relation to RGB color. If not disregard this message. I don't see how you would add intensity based on the pressure sensor unless it is saying pin 3 determines power. IF that is the case we want to tie that to valuer1 and I would have to have more info on how the colors are determined.

I rewrote the loop for what I think would give you a random changing light every second, but without more information on the board with regard to setting intensity, I can't help you there.

void loop() {

valeur1 = analogRead(A0);
delay(1000);
valeur2 = (200 / valeur1); //need context on what these are for
valeur3 = (valeur2 * valeur2); //need context on what these are for

valeur4 = random(255); // three random values. One for each RGB. If you use only one you will be limited to 255 colors.
valeur5 = random(255);
valeur6 = random(255);

analogWrite(3,valeur4);
analogWrite(5,valeur5);
analogWrite(6,valeur6);


}

This shit sure ain't assembler

I just hope this kid renames the variables before turning in the code. If I were grading the assignment, I'd be raising an eyebrow if the variables were French.

I once worked on some client's code, which was apparently written by a guy named Eric. Every variable in his code was prefixed with 'eric'. So the SQL DB connection was 'ericDbConn', and the result set was 'ericDbResult', the datarow object was 'ericDbRow', etc.

I thought that was pretty damned hilarious!

What was this piece of code written for, if I may ask?

It was a long time ago, but I believe that particular code was embedded in a classic ASP page. He was fetching options from the database to populate a select tag on a form.

I recall that the guy left a lot of comments too, which is usually a good thing, but his comments were unnecessary, as they didn't explain anything helpful. Example:

// This is the database connection
Dim ericDbConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")

Pretty obvious, given the naming, and straight-forward variable assignment. Struck me as if they were written by someone just out of school. The client was a large regional grocery store chain.

That was my first thought as well. Naming conventions have always been my downfall. I've learned some, but still sometimes go back to what makes sense to me at the time.
