1.The purposed is that it automatically retrieved when its raining and back when it's not ( we used rain sensor)Sure, I'd be happy to help you with the code for your capstone project! However, I need more information in order to understand what kind of functionality you want to implement in your project.
Here are a few questions to clarify the requirements:
1. What is the purpose of the Solar-powered Automatic Laundry Retriever?
2. How is the Arduino connected to the solar charger controller and the 12V battery?
3. How is the power window motor connected to the Arduino Shield?
4. What are the specific tasks that the Solar-powered Automatic Laundry Retriever needs to perform?
5. Is there any additional functionality that needs to be implemented in the project?
Please provide me with the necessary information to help you better.
Thank you for the additional information! Based on your requirements, here is a sample code that you can use as a starting point for your project:1.The purposed is that it automatically retrieved when its raining and back when it's not ( we used rain sensor)
2. Is that we used solar that connected to solar charger so that we will know the capacity of the battery which also we try to answer the statement of the problem of our research about testing how much power can restored by time
3.The 12v Power Window Motor is connected to Shield M1
4.It retrieve when it's raining and return when the rain stop vice-versa
5. I feel lile our rain sensor have also have light sensor invlude if ever it didn't rain and it's already night so it's also retrieve and return also when it detect the light or its morning but am not sure if it's light sensor....

if (rainValue > RainThreshold) {

delay(5000); // Wait for 5 seconds

}
else if (lightValue < LightThreshold) {
digitalWrite(MotorPin, HIGH); // Run the motor to retrieve laundry
delay(5000); // Wait for 5 seconds
digitalWrite(MotorPin, LOW); // Stop the motor
}
}what about we use the dual motor h-bridge and we disregard using the light sensorThank you for the additional information! Based on your requirements, here is a sample code that you can use as a starting point for your project:

Please note that this is just a basic code and would need to be modified according to your specific requirements. You may also need to add more sensors or modify the code to suit your needs.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions or need further assistance.
Sure, here is a modified code that uses the dual motor h-bridge and disregards the light sensor:what about we use the dual motor h-bridge and we disregard using the light sensor
