Thank you, that helped me a lot. it was so hard to work with soil moisture sensor's analog read so I had to do an equation to use it properly, but the map function solved all of that. 🌹🌹

A fairly minor alteration to the map function eliminates the issue with the output mapping to the max value for only the max input and improves the distribution of the output values.
long mapEx( long x, long in_min, long in_max, long out_min, long out_max)
{
return((x - in_min) * (out_max - out_min + 1) / (in_max - in_min + 1) + out_max);
}

That's awesome, thanks for the tip!

Question..do you need Internet to program Arduino..

[@CircuitCrush]

No, but you'll need Internet to download the IDE and any additional libraries you want
