I downloaded a water flow sketch and got it working on a bread board using an Uno, and a LCD shield. I what to make it on perf board using a Nano, and an NOT I2C LCD.
I soldered it all up, got "Hello World" to run ok. But because my water flow sketch originally uses D2 for the sensor, and the new sketch uses D2 for the LCD I obviously need to change the sensor pin. I have the sensor hooked up to D8, but I can't figure out how to tell the sketch that....
I believe it is this line of code:
byte sensorInterrupt = 0; // 0 = digital pin 2
byte sensorPin = 2;
But I have tried changing the values based on the nano pin out diagram, but I just can't get it to read. I don't think it is a hardware problem, but if i can get confirmation that i have the pin declared correctly I can go back a de-solder stuff and check....
