Good day everyone! Im very new to Arduino and just got introduced it when I tried building my DIY Steering Wheel.
I came across this free DIY Guide using the Arduino Pro Micro.
All the buttons work, but Im getting really slow response during continuous button inputs, particularly for the paddle shifters.
I'm thinking it is simply bad code?
Would like to ask for help on how I can make button inputs faster.
Also, I think I used an Arduino Leonardo instead of a Pro Micro which this code was designed for. Pro Micro is written on the pcb, but it appears as a Leonardo.
Thanks!
