I got control flow issues

Here is an important part, each section of code should be executed once and thats it, each portion of control should be separate from the other.

This requirement cries for using a state-machine.
A state-machine is a concept build with the switch-case-break; - structure which does mutually exclusive execute multiple parts of code each part of the code executing mutual exclusive.

This gives an easy to follow code-structure with a minimised number of if-conditions and flag-variables can be avoided most of the time.

I'm not willing to transform or to modify AI-generated code. It will take me twice the time to analyse the code than to write it new.

My recommendation is that you learn how state-machines work.

You can imagine these states as modes of operation
You have a certain sequence of steps that should run through.
Which means you start with a state 1

1. switch-on-glow-plugs and switch on dashboard-control LED change to state 2
2. wait predetermined time. If time has passed by turn switch off glow-plugs change to state 3
   etc.

here is a tutorial how state-machines work

A Demo-Code explaining the switch-case state-machine and how to do things (almost) in parallel

Hi everybody, if you look at the end of this first posting you see a list of links that show where this tutorial was used as a link. Go through this list to find additional information on how to apply this code This democode requires only the pure microcontroller without any hardware. You just open the serial monitor to watch the behaviour of the code. From time to time I enjoy writing demo-codes that want to explain programming-functionalities. There are a lot of different approachs to expla…
