so what needs to be done to fix the code?.

If you need to read buttons at the same time as you are doing other things, then you have "do several things at the same time"/multitasking problem. One way of solving it for buttons is doing the counting on the change-of-button-press-state with tricks as in: [image] Wokwi Simulations for Arduin…

[image] m3vuv: so So where is your schematic ? So give us links to your hardware. So get rid of delay(. . .) and avoid using while( . . . ) Describe your project.

look at the link for details,its the coil winder project,i am using an arduino uno with a homebrew mosfet driver,the info is here ok Arduino Stepper Motor Drive Coil Winder

Do you understand that delay( ) and while( ) can make your sketches unresponsive ? Most people here will not go to off site information. You should always put all pertinent information in your posts here. So other volunteers here don't have to hunt for things. [image]

[image] m3vuv: pinMode(SW0, INPUT); pinMode(SW1, INPUT); pinMode(SW2, INPUT); pinMode(SW3, INPUT); Do you know your switch inputs are floating if you are using the above schematic ? What are A, B, C and D connected to ? You should always show us your schematic you are using. …

hi larry,thats the schematic i am using,i built that winder about 3 years ago and all was fine,when i came to remake it a few days ago the winder txt link gave a 404 error,i informed mr lofflin about this via youtube and he fixed it and the code link was working againe,looks like the code may of bee…

We have no idea what controller you are using :woozy_face: . Your schematic should be updated to include the actual controller being used and the A,B,C, and D connections.

do the switch inputs need pullups then?,if so its strange as i made this about 2yrs ago and it worked fine,the schemstic is slightly different as the neg side of the led's go strait to gates of logic level n type fets,or at least thats how my working version was wired.
