Initialize

C/C++
This Code belongs to the Argon that starts the process with the button and is attached to the display.

        delay(6000);                                //Long delay ensures all code has been executed accross all 3 Argons
        
    }

Calculate

C/C++
This Argon Calculates the data from the Collect Argon and sends a result back to the Initialize Argon.

Collect

C/C++
This code belongs to the data collection Argon, which in turn sends data to the Calculation Argon.
//-----------
//IOT Collect

int tmp = A5;                                               //Variable declaration

    pinMode(echo, INPUT);
    Serial.begin(9600); 
    Particle.subscribe("Run", Test, "e00fce682842dfd91d0c3ab9");            //Recieves start command from calculating Argon
}

void Test(const char *event, const char *data) {            //Code runs entirely in the handler function for simplicity
    
    float tempADC = analogRead(tmp);                        //Measures and stores the voltage reading from thee tmp-36
    float tempVolt = tempADC * (0.8056640625);              //Measures and stores the voltage reading from thee tmp-36
    float temp = ((tempVolt) - 500) / 10.0;                 //Converts the voltage output from the tmp-36 to a temperature measurement
    
    digitalWrite(trig, LOW);                                //Activates and deactivates a sonic test wave

    Particle.publish("Duration", String(duration));         //Sends time-of-flight measurement as a string to the calculating Argon
    delay(1000);                                            //Delay to allow the previous publish command to register
    Particle.publish("Temperature", String(temp));          //Sends the temperature measurement as a string to the calculating Argon
}

void loop() {                                               //Loop was unused as code runs entirely in the subscribe handler
