I am using an Mcp41010 digipot chip and am wondering how to vary the wiper position of the chip with an analog input voltage that I can adjust, I need a way of decrementing(--) the wiper position if the voltage goes over a certain point and incrementing(++) the wiper position of the chip back to the normal position this is some code that i found that just fades the wiper position up and down I need a way of controlling it. I am still very new to arduino so sorry if my explanation was clear enough.
int CS_signal = 12; // Chip Select signal onsul pin 2 of Arduino
int CLK_signal = 52; // Clock signal on pin 4 of Arduino
int MOSI_signal = 51; // MOSI signal on pin 5 of Arduino
byte cmd_byte2 = B00010001 ; // Command byte
int initial_value = 100; // Setting up the initial value
void initialize() { // send the command byte of value 100 (initial value)
spi_out(CS_signal, cmd_byte2, initial_value);
}
void spi_out(int CS, byte cmd_byte, byte data_byte){ // we need this function to send command byte and data byte to the chip
digitalWrite (CS, LOW); // to start the transmission, the chip select must be low
spi_transfer(cmd_byte); // invio il COMMAND BYTE
