Looking for some extra space. Help skin my cat.

Good evening, I got some working code here for a robot sculpture. That I mostly cobbled together.   It works and I'm fairly happy with it, but if there is any extra space I can get my hands on I'd use it. 

Its main components are:
a Pir detector
some RGB eyes
a shaker motor
an aux push button switch
and a led that lights when in wait mode

The program waits for motion then cycles to the next eye color and sound.
After a few times around dumps into a dance bit.  Or I can show off and direct it there with the aux button press. 
I'm looking for some extra space to set up cycle counts for the other sounds so that they don't play every time through.

Thanks,
Chris

I'm writing a version, too, but I'd love to seen an English language description of what you want. There are are redundant areas that I *think* can be turned into a subroutine if I just fully understood what you're trying to achieve. As we all think a bit differently, it's a good idea to explain what you're after along with the code you're working on.

In the meantime, have a look at this idea -- I think it's pretty close to what you're doing and uses fewer variables and only 51% of the memory. It should give some conservation ideas, anyway. Hint: Look for redundancies and attempt to exploit them.

Jon's the GURU when it comes to efficient program writing for sure. Quick observation of one little tiny bit of code, I know when PWM is used to go from 0 -255 a HIGH PIN command is needed to keep the PIN high, but when PWM brings the PIN down to 0, is it necessary to follow that with a LOW PIN command?

JonnyMac

It really isn't; the PWM command leaves the pin in INPUT state which would kill and LED connected to it.

Wow! Thanks to both of you. Both programs run awesome.  You both are like coding rock stars.   I made a hardware change and decided to give the "lay it out in English" a shot. The change Ive made is adding a latching relay to the input side of pin5 and it gets it power from pin4.  I'm trading the "detect led" for this.  So now no matter when I press my showoff button it latches an external relay and holds that input until the code comes around.  Then when it get to it, the code sees the input on pin4, lows "out5", high  "out5" and continues to disco mode. 

The original reason I needed help was I was looking for space to set up some code to control how often the audio played. 
I'd like the eyes to cycle colors every time but not necessary fire the sound board. That is why I wanted to set up more counts so it wouldn't make noise every run. 


[ I/O Definitions ]

SYMBOL  Sio             = 7                   
SYMBOL  PIR             = PIN6               
SYMBOL  VanitySwitch    = PIN5
SYMBOL  Switchpower       = PIN4
SYMBOL  Shaker          = PIN3
SYMBOL  BlueEye         = 2
SYMBOL  GreenEye        = 1
SYMBOL  RedEye          = 0
------------------------------------------

On start up the switch power would go hot, giving me power to latch the external button press

If there is input on the vanity switch it would go to disco if not it goes to pir looking mode

Upon movement the blue eyes would fade up
Play audio seg "0" (this is a spot where I wanted to add a count so i can control how may loops it makes without out putting the audio.)
pause for an "on time"
Then fade down 

next it would check for a vanity input then motion
the next motion would trigger green eyes
and audio seg1  (this is a spot where I wanted to add a count so i can control how may loops it makes without out putting the audio.) 

next it would check for a vanity input then motion
the next motion would trigger red eyes
and audio seg4  (this is a spot where I wanted to add a count so i can control how may loops it makes without out putting the audio.)

if this is the 10th time its cycled to this point it would play disco mode
if not it goes home

If the vanity switch is triggered it needs to de-power the switchpower, resetting the latching relay, then high the switch power,  then run disco mode.

Thanks for any additional help you can offer

Give this a try, I think it's what you want based on your description. It will run thru the eye colors and play audio on every 4th time the PIR triggers the program. Keep this an even number because you have an odd number of audio files. You can adjust the number in the line right above the AP8 SEROUT. (silent variable) This program only turns on the shaker when the RED eyes are on which is what your original program specified. (shaker is also on for "Disco") The program will cycle thru each color 10 times before automatically going to "Disco". That number is also adjustable to whatever you want. BTW, I'm no coding rockstar but Jon certainly is!

Thanks Jackman and Jon.  This really helped.  I'm still tweaking a few things here and there as I see places for improvement.  Fyi I did need a "low the pin" line in the fade down because I'm using a led driver and it needs a full 0.  Thanks again.
