Hi, I'm working on a project, "Gas Leakage System with IR remote control". I am not a pro at coding C and I just know a little more than the basics. So, what I wanted the code to do is that, when I press a specific button on the IR remote, a function should be executed, for example turns red led on or off, switch the button state to on if it is already off and vice versa. While all of this happens, I wanted the code to check if there is any gas leakage (MQ-2 Sensor is used for that), after using the Switch case for the IR remote control, I used the While loop (inside the void loop() function) to check if any gas is detected by the sensor and compare it to two variables, lowAlert and highAlert. My purpose is to run this while loop every time when any button state is on. There is no error in the code yet the IR remote control works but everything in the while loop doesn't. I've added a few comments to the code also, so that whoever is reading it can have an idea about what I intended the code to do.
