MorganS:
delay(12000);The delay() function prevents the Arduino from doing everything. It can't read other buttons or respond in any way until that delay has finished.
boolean delayWithCancel(unsigned long duration) {
unsigned long start = millis();
while(millis()-start < duration) {
if(digitalRead(Button1)==LOW) return true;
if(digitalRead(Button2)==LOW) return true;
if(digitalRead(Button3)==LOW) return true;
if(digitalRead(Button4)==LOW) return true;
}
return false; //action wasn't cancelled
}
void loop() {
if(delayWithCancel(12000)) Serial.println("Cancel button pressed!");
}
Morgan, I am very new to arduino (Programming).
I understand half of what you have explained, thank you.
could you tell me how then modify my code.
