Hi,
my first post so go easy on me, i have managed to get this code working after days and nights of research, merging code from old projects and tutorials online.
I would really appreciate some help.
The thing i need to change or would like to change is the toggle from MM to Inch without have to hold the monentary button down. remember button state ? i have looked at the examples and others code but cannot seem to get this working, hear is the code i have so far but have to hold the toggle button.
this is running on Arduino Mega
thanks in advance
