Adding multiple buttons with a same function.

Projects General Guidance

Hello,

I would like to get a suggestion on how should I add multiple buttons to run the same function. I am currently building a Pick to Light system. The problem I am facing now is how to add multiple buttons that play a role which is to switch off the lit LEDs(standby mode) when there is no new activity in order to save electricity. A simple coding will help me a lot.

Thanks in advance.

Sounds easy

start of loop()
  if button 1 becomes pressed
    call led function
  end if

  if button 2 becomes pressed
    call led function
  end if
end of loop()

start of led function
  //do stuff with leds
end of led function

It would help if you posted your current code and explained what problems you are having

If the buttons have identical function, you can connect them all to the same pin (between pin and ground, and use mode INPUT_PULLUP).
