int FWGear = 3; //Foward button int BWGear = 4; //Backward button //variables int GearCount = 1; int FWGearNew; int FWGearOld = 1; int BWGearNew; int BWGearOld = 1; void setup () { pinMode(FWGear, INPUT_PULLUP); //Foward button pinMode(BWGear, INPUT_PULLUP); //Backward button } void loop …

FWGearNew = digitalRead(FWGear); This line reads the current state of the forward button (connected to pin 3) and stores it in the variable FWGearNew. If the button is not pressed, it will read HIGH. If the button is pressed, it will read LOW, because we're using INPUT_PULLUP. delay(100); This …

Which statement, I see some bad code that should be changed to a simple GearCount++ and GearCount--

can't understand the part FWGearOld=FWGearNew? What does that means

The old value is replaced by the new value.

dear if you are not busy, can you explain in little more, how counter worked and replace the new value

You need to take a course in basic C.

This is the second times (maybe more) that you come to this forum with this code... I assume you didn't do it; so where does it come from?

bro i didnt say that I wrote this code, I'm trying to learn! with my office work, i dont have time do courses, so at night i ask from other and try to read and learn , is learning wrong bro?

Hey why do you take this wrong? The first time I just thought you needed help to do something, in your own code. It seems like it's not your code, I'm just asking So where does it come from?

I did some chages as i need the code, but actually a guy on redit told me to use the code for count but after few days that guy dissappered and his acc is deleted. now he left many questions , so trying to ask from others and learn.

hey thanks alot, I understood it perfectly. thanks for teaching :heart_eyes:

Can someone expain me how the count up and down works in this code
