Help on routine-Work with a button

[gadelhas]

Hi again everyone;

I'm trying to do a code, that work with a button, to do 2 things;

1º - A simple pulse on the button, go to label one
2º - If a press and hold the some button for 3 seconds, go to label two.

I do i search, but i'm a little lost with all the post that the search give back.

Can somebody help me.

Thanks

[mackrackit]

and when the code jumps to label 1 if the button is still pushed you could pause for 3 seconds and check again. If not pushed in label 1 then... but if still pushed after 3 second pause then label 2 ??

Hi mackrackit, thanks for answering;

I just won't something like this;

Main:
 ´teste button click--->jump label1
 ´teste button click and hold 3 seconds--->jump label2
Goto Main

Label1:
 ´some code
goto Main


label2:
 ´some code
goto Main

Thanks

I just won't something like this;

 
While Button pressed
  Wait a bit
  Increment a counter 
WEND
 
Is Counter limit reached ???
  GOSUB label 2
else
  GOSUB label 1
ENDIF
 
goto Main
 
label1:
 ´some code
 
label2:
 ´some code

Alain

Thanks

or even my nooby 'take' might work?.

Main:
if sw1=0 then 
pause 3200             ' wait 3.2 seconds (or whatever length of time you expect the user to press/hold the switch for)
if sw1 = 0 then       ' recheck to see if sw1 is still held down
goto label2            ' if it is then go & do some stuff in label2
else
goto label 1           ' if it wasn't held down then go & do other stuff -  goto label 1
endif
endif
pause 10
goto main

label1:
do stuff!
pause 20           ' bit of a pause for switch debouncing
goto main

label2:
do other stuff!
pause 20 '           ' bit of a pause for switch debouncing
goto main

Of course with the method I've posted above, you have to hang around 3.2 seconds to work out whether the user input wanted label1 or label2 - it would really works betterif there was just say a half second pause to decide/glean if label1 or label 2 was required. (but if you're new to picbasic it means grappling with less commands/concepts!)

Disclaimer: I know bo-diddley squat really!!

This might be a good candidate for switch state logic. Remember that you can detect the following states when using a switch state latch;

(1) new = 1, old = 0 --> new press
(2) new = 0, old = 1 --> new release
(3) new = 1, old = 1 --> still pressed
(4) new = 0, old = 0 --> still released

Start a 3-second timer when you detect the "new press" state. If the timer times out while the switch is held pressed then set a "long" flag. If you detect a "new release" state before the timer times out then set a "short" flag.


Another C example (sorry Gentlemen) based on a 50-msec loop time (sample/debounce/timer interval) that generates a single 'beep' on a "new press" and a double beep at the 3-second time-out;

;
;  unsigned char swnew = 0;     // fresh switch sample
;  unsigned char swold = 0;     // switch state latch
;  unsigned char swtmr = 0;     // 3-second switch timer
;
;  #define newpress     swnew.0 == 1 && swold.0 == 0
;  #define newrelease   swnew.0 == 0 && swold.0 == 1
;
;  while(1)                     //
;  { delay_ms(50);              // 50-msec sample/debounce interval
;    swnew = ~gpio;             // sample active lo switches
;    if(newpress)               // if "new press"
;    { swold.0 = 1;             // update switch state latch
;      swtmr = 3000/50;         // start 3 second timer
;      beep1();                 // send "new press" beep
;    }
;    if(newrelease)             // if "new release"
;    { swold.0 = 0;             // update switch state latch
;      if(swtmr)                // if 'short' press
;        swtmr = 0;             // turn off switch timer
;        sflag = 1;             // set "short" flag
;    }
;    if(swtmr)                  // if switch timer running
;    { swtmr--;                 // decrement it and
;      if(swtmr == 0)           // if 3 second timeout
;      { beep2();               // send double beep and
;        lflag = 1;             // set "long" flag
;      }
;    }
;    if(sflag)                  // if "short" press
;    {                          //
;    }                          //
;    if(lflag)                  // if "long" press
;    {                          //
;    }                          //
;  }                            //
;

Add a little more logic for safety (and outputs) and you've got one of those novelty lighted single switch ignition systems (I don't endorse or recommend anyone trying this as it's just too dangerous, IMO);

;  unsigned char swnew = 0;     // fresh switch sample
;  unsigned char swold = 0;     // switch state latch
;  unsigned char swtmr = 0;     // 1-second switch timer
;
;  #define ignition    gpio.0   // GP0, active hi relay output
;  #define starter     gpio.1   // GP1, active hi relay output
;  #define running     swold.0  // flag
;
;  #define newpress    swnew.3 == 1 && swold.3 == 0
;  #define newrelease  swnew.3 == 0 && swold.3 == 1
;  #define allowstart  ignition == 1 && running == 0
;
;  while(1)
;  { delay_ms(32);              // 32-msec debounce intervals
;    swnew = ~gpio;             // sample active lo switch GP3
;    if(newpress)               // if "new press"
;    { swold.3 = 1;             //   update switch state latch
;      swtmr = 1000/32;         //   start 1 second timer
;      beep1();                 //   send a single beep
;    }
;    if(newrelease)             // if "new release"
;    { swold.3 = 0;             //   update switch state latch
;      starter = 0;             //   turn GP1 "starter" off
;      if(swtmr)                //   if "short" press
;      { ignition ^= 1;         //     toggle GP0 "ignition"
;        swtmr = 0;             //     turn 1 second timer off
;        running = 0;           //     clear "running" flag
;      }                        //
;    }
;    if(swtmr)                  // if 1 second timer running
;    { swtmr--;                 //   decrement it
;      if(swtmr == 0)           //   if timed out
;      { beep2();               //     send a double beep
;        if(allowstart)         //     if start allowed
;        { running = 1;         //       set "running" flag
;          starter = 1;         //       turn GP1 "starter" on
;        }                      //
;      }                        //
;    }
;  }

Thanks you for all the reaplys, I will analyse all of them...in the mean time, if anyone have more options, please post.!!

Thanks

Hi, Hugo

While Button pressed
  Wait a bit
 
 
  Increment a counter 
WEND
 
...
 
 
Is Counter limit reached ?

I do not see those two actions in your program ...

Alain

PS for Administrators ... There is a bug with high size characters: suppress the blank lines inserted after " wait a bit " and it will appear ...

Hi, thanks Acetronics;

Hi made thsi way, and its working, however later, i will make more tests.
