I am extremely new so please bare with me. I am attempting to control a servo by both the internal timer and by button. Essentially the servo will open a door for 6 seconds every 24 hours (i know the delay time isn't right) OR if you press the button The loop for the timer works but the button doe…

You will want to read about millis() for timing. I think you may be better off using a RTC module for the time thingy. The button don't work cause when the delay is doing the thing the CPU is doing NOP's (no operations) and cannot detect the button press.

put the first 4 lines of the loop() in a condition which allows them to run only every 24 hours. now write(0) executes immediately after write(angle)

Thanks. Can you please elaborate on how to "put the first 4 lines of the loop() in a condition which allows them to run only every 24 hours."'

Someone else gave me this code which allows the button to start the cycle but the servo only goes to 180 when I hit the button. Any ideas on how to allow the 24 hour cycle to play out but be overridden by pressing the button? #include <Servo.h> Servo myservo; const int BUTTON_PIN = 7; const int SER…

Okay I now know I need to use the blink without delay method but have no idea how so if anyone can help!
