Bounce is a library for Arduino.
It debounces* digital inputs and more.
Bounce has passed from version 1 to version 2.
Version 2 is released but also in development.
Basically version 2 adds a better setup interface and matches the behavior requested by many (I still like the initial debounce algorithm and you can revert to the initial algorithm if you prefer).
hi , i have a project that a simple button trigger a loop ( for() ) and after the loop is completed once, the debouncer do it again like i pushed the button again , do you have a command to clear it please ?
You are misinterpreting what debouncing is.
ok i think if i change debouncer.read(); by debouncer.fell(); can be solved ?
Yes.
read() returns the debounced (aka filtered) current state of the pin.
fell() and rose() return 1 when the pin went from HIGH to LOW (fell) or went from LOW to HIGH (rose) since the last update.
Does your loop() need to execute very fast for the bouncer.update function to work properly? Suppose you wanted a debounce interval of 10 mS, but your loop() has other code that will (or could) take longer than that to execute; or you had a delay(50) at the end of each loop. Am I correct that the debouncing would have no benefit in this case? It seems like reading of the switch would become completely unreliable -- you might be reading (and debouncing) noise or true signal?
Second, your documentation says the debounce interval (interval_millis) is a unsigned long (integer); but your header file says it's a uint16_t, which is a regular unsigned int. I guess it's not a problem as long as the math with this number and millis() which is a long, uint32_t, works OK. But it would be better if documentation were consistent with code.
Hi, I'm using bounce2 for a project I'm working on. I'm using push buttons as a bump switch or limit swich to control the direction of a DC motor. I'm very close to achieving my goal, however, right now the program is not switching until I release the momentary push button. I need it to switch at the very press of the button.
Do I need to change the bounce library & if so, how?
My guess is that you're looking for the wrong transition. You're looking for a high when you should be looking for a low, or vice versa: depends how the switch is wired.
But that's a guess: as always, you get a better answer with more info: post sketch and schematic.
OK, my sketch (ICarV10.ino) is attached below, it is a slightly modified version of Steven Cogswell's Relay Shield Library using the Relay Shield found here
Pins 4-7 control the 4relays & pins 8-11 sense the push buttons which use the arduino's 5v & a resistor to ground
If you have the button to 5V as it sounds like, that's going to override the internal pullup. Your external resistor is a pulldown. So there you have classic "active high" behaviour: you see high when the button is pushed, not the low that your sketch is looking for; the low only happens when you let go.
If you want classic "active low", keep the internal pullup enabled as you have, and ditch the external resistor and conenction to 5V (if that's what you have...)
So as I thought, you have a classic "pulldown" setup there, hardware-wise.
That means the button is low most of the time, and high when pressed. Your sketch is looking for a low, though. If you want stuff to happen when the button is pressed, that means you need to look for a high.
So change your logic to be an "if.... == high" instead of the current "==low"
You can also lose the lines that enables the internal pullups, ie the digitalWrite highs.
Disclaimer: I have not checked every line of that code so be sure this is what you want to do. YMMV, E&OE, Ts and Cs apply....
By the way.... these lines serve no purpose and you should remove them. I don't know what their effect is. Origianlly when you had them high, that enabled the pullups. But you don't disable the pullups by making them low; they are disabled by default, so just lose those lines.
digitalWrite(Button1pin, LOW);
Presumably you stuck with your external pulldowns since as you said, it was all assembled already. For future reference, the pullUP method, the so called active low, is considered better practice. It's for that reason the internal resistors are pullups and they are far and away the easiest way to do things.
I'm still wondering about Question #5 above: "Does your loop() need to execute very fast for the bouncer.update function to work properly?....etc." Thanks, Inno...
I imprted the libraries Bounce and Bounce2 in my project and When I try to complie I have a compilation error : fatal error: WProgram.h: No such file or directory #include "WProgram.h"
I am using IDE 1.5.8
