Well I hooked together some switches and set some pullups, and have a sort of code, with odd serialprint telltales here and there, it runs until it gets to the "switch" function, I put a serialprint there and it doesnt show up.
The idea is that 3 remotes can each increment their own coloured display with a pushbutton, which comes to the chip via a HT12 decoder as Bin0 Bin1 and Bin2, and the valid transmission VT from the HT12.
I need to be able to reset each counter by holding the button in, so I included a flag to stop it incrementing each loop while the buttons pressed. I am not using a real timer for the reset delay, just counting loops.
heres the code for as far as the red button, the monitor shows it gets to serial print counter 2, but not the switch function, can I use functions() as I have here, being called from other functions? or perhaps I cannot have for loops in a switch case ? any ideas?
