Hi all,
I thought this was an easy one, but this button has me stumped.
using mega 2560 + ramps1.4
I'm trying to get a two prong tactile button on a breadboard to activate a function called engage(), which turns a nema17 180deg.
So, I placed the tactile button between pin A9/D63 & grnd, named it 'b1'. I've tried both A9 & 63 for pins, plus a few others on the AUX1, 2 & 3. The following happens:
- the y motor seems to be revving but it doesn't move & the heat sink gets hot
- if I touch the 63 pin with a wire without even connecting it to anything the sequence begins
- when pressing the button nothing happens, it seams the button isn't even recognised
- when I remove the 'if statement' to execute the engage() function the motor sequence is good
I was hoping to just create separate sequences and press a separate button for each to call the function but no go.
Any help much appreciated.... here is the code
// Define Motor Pins
const int M1X_stepPin = 54;
const int M1X_dirPin = 55;
const int M1X_enablePin = 38;
