Hi
I have a problem getting my codo to work. I did notice that the False statement was not coming up as declared. not sure if this is a problem with the new update or if i have done something wrong please help.

Thanks

int switchPin = 8;
int ledPin1 = 13;
boolean lastButton = LOW;
boolean currentButton = LOW;
boolean ledOn = false;

void setup()
{
pinMode(switchPin, INPUT);
pinMode(ledPin1, OUTPUT);
}

boolean debounce(boolean last)
{
boolean current = digitalRead(switchPin);
if (last != current)
{
delay(5);
current = digitalRead(switchPin);
}
return current;
}
void loop()
{
currentButton = debounce(lastButton);
if (lastButton == LOW && lastButton == HIGH)
{
ledOn = !ledOn;
}
lastButton = currentButton;
digitalWrite(ledPin1, ledOn);
}

Please edit your post, select the code, and put it between [code] ... [/code] tags.

You can do that by hiting the "Code" icon above the posting area. It is the first icon, with the symbol: </>

  if (lastButton == LOW && lastButton == HIGH)

When will this ever be true?

Have you actually got a problem that requires code to debounce a button ?

There is a very simple debounce system in several things at a time.
