Or a different way
#define BLACKLINE 1
#if BLACKLINE
#define SEELINE(reading,threshold) reading < threshold
#else
#define SEELINE(reading,threshold) reading > threshold
#endif
if (SEELINE(s1,threshold1)) {
// s1 is on the line
} else {
// s1 is off the line
}
This way is what I see done by my coworkers and myself at work. By
encapselating the entire comparison in the macro, then the macro name helps make
the code more self documenting.
You simply change the #define of BLACKLINE to 0 instead of 1 for white lines on
black background.
