/* Largely based on the Arduino Debounce example, see original source for author credits. https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/BuiltInExamples/Debounce We've used an internal Pullup, so some logic has been reversed. This sketch listens to the serial port for instruction to toggle LED. Sends out message if bitton is pressed. */ // constants won't change. They're used here to set pin numbers: const int buttonPin = 2; // the number of the pushbutton pin const int ledPin = 13; // the number of the LED pin // Variables will change: int ledState = HIGH; // the current state of the output pin int buttonState; // the current reading from the input pin int lastButtonState = HIGH; // the previous reading from the input pin // the following variables are unsigned longs because the time, measured in // milliseconds, will quickly become a bigger number than can be stored in an int. unsigned long lastDebounceTime = 0; // the last time the output pin was toggled unsigned long debounceDelay = 50; // the debounce time; increase if the output flickers void setup() { pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT_PULLUP); pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); Serial.begin(9600); // set initial LED state digitalWrite(ledPin, ledState); } void loop() { // read the state of the switch into a local variable: int reading = digitalRead(buttonPin); // check to see if you just pressed the button // (i.e. the input went from LOW to HIGH), and you've waited long enough // since the last press to ignore any noise: // If the switch changed, due to noise or pressing: if (reading != lastButtonState) { // reset the debouncing timer lastDebounceTime = millis(); } if ((millis() - lastDebounceTime) > debounceDelay) { // whatever the reading is at, it's been there for longer than the debounce // delay, so take it as the actual current state: // if the button state has changed: if (reading != buttonState) { buttonState = reading; // only toggle the LED if the new button state is LOW if (buttonState == LOW) { Serial.print('t'); // 't' ledState = !ledState; } } } if (Serial.available() > 0) { int incoming = Serial.read(); if (incoming == 't') { ledState = !ledState; } } // set the LED: digitalWrite(ledPin, ledState); // save the reading. Next time through the loop, it'll be the lastButtonState: lastButtonState = reading; }
