I am trying to write a program that only uses one while statement in my void loop, to turn an LED on using PWM so for button press #1 LED = 255 (100%), second press is 60% and third is 30% the fourth press should be off, I then want this loop to repeat one more time and then cancel out.
I think I almost have it down, however in the code i provided, my counter only goes from 0 to 1 and does not increment further.
not sure where the issue is in my code but any pointers would be absolutely amazing, thank you in advance.
