I like the way gobetwino works. but i am having trouble setting up the code on my arduino. I am trying to make an Emergency Party Button
I am trying to set up the 3 switches to select what "level" the party should be. then by pressing the pushbutton switch sends the "level" by serial port to gobetwino which opens the playlist file i want to play.
this is the code i have so far i am new to programming i have some understanding but not much. so far the code i have just repeats the string "level1" over and over. how would i get it to stop after sending the string once? any help would be very appreciated.
Thanks
