Greetings!
Hope everybody is doing well.
I am seeking help with my project. I am using only the NodeMcu 12E module to send message to the telegram
bot. When the user pushes the button on the NodeMcu module, the button press counts are sent to
telegram bot.
My problem is that the program doesn't count accurately because this instruction takes about 5 seconds
and if the user presses the button when this instruction is running , the counting button presses are not
accurate.
bot.sendMessage(chat_id, String(buttonPushCounter));
Could you please guide me and help me through this.
Thanks in advance
Best Wishes
Bob
Here is my arduino code
void loop()
{
buttonState = digitalRead(button);
if (buttonState != lastButtonState)
{
if (buttonState == HIGH)
{
buttonPushCounter++;
Serial.print("number of button pushes: ");
Serial.println(buttonPushCounter);
}
else
{
}
delay(50);
}//BASIC if
lastButtonState = buttonState;
if (millis() > Bot_lasttime + Bot_mtbs)
{
bot.sendMessage(chat_id, String(buttonPushCounter));
Bot_lasttime = millis();
}
}// LOOP
