Having problems with code and programming buttons

Having problems programming buttons to move from one loop to another. Traffic light configuration for button one and then when button 2 is pressed the lights should flash (1 set on, the other off). I cannot seem to work out how to make the lights flash when button 2 is pressed and then when pressed again, the sequence goes back to normal.

Sorry to hear of your issues with coding. I can only guess which line or lines of code may be at fault because. Well. You see, I cannot see your code that you want help fixing.

So first thing is you post code but its not in code tags so we spend 5 to 10 messages getting your code in code tags and then we begin to work on your issue. Or, right off the bat you could post your code in code tags and we can get right to work solving your issue. What do you say to posting your code in code tags? Gonna help us help you?

So now we spend 10 or 15 messages getting your code properlly posted. Oh school assignment. Well good luck to you.

OK, I gots to know… how did you do that?

I found this thing,

to be helpful.

Words such as "posting code" gets results.

haha, yes.

  1. When button 2 is pressed then toggle a test blink mode flag, reset the state to 0, and record the current millis()
  2. If you are in test blink mode then check to see if 1000ms have passed by reading millis() and comparing to the time you stored in step 1
  3. If 1000ms have passed then alternate which set of traffic lights are on and record the current millis() again
