Hi all,
Today I have been working on a button box for a racing simulator. Everything seems to work, except one problem makes the project go mad. I want to invert a number of button signals, but I cant get my head around it.
I have a button box of 35 functions, of which 29 are push buttons. The physical buttons are all Normally Open, except for six of them (button 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 22.)
I have hooked the buttons up to an Arduino Pro Micro board using a 6x5 array. In the code I have defined the array rows and columns 0 to 28. The buttons are then mapped with Keypad command, but I cant seem to find out how to invert the signals of buttons 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 22.
When I run the code pasted below, the button box gives a readout that buttons 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 22 are pressed/hold. Pressing makes them 'unpressed'/ off. This is obviously not what I would like to have it. I want a 'Low' state when unpressed and a 'High' state when pressed, just like the other buttons that are Normally Open.
Dont mind the code for the rotary encoders that is also in the code.

};
if (result == DIR_CW) {
Joystick.setButton(rotaries[i].cwchar, 1); delay(50); Joystick.setButton(rotaries[i].cwchar, 0);
};
}
}
I think the solution is in this part of the code, but I cant get my head around it.
void loop() {
CheckAllEncoders();
CheckAllButtons();
}
void CheckAllButtons(void) {
if (buttbx.getKeys())
{
for (int i=0; i<LIST_MAX; i++)
{
if ( buttbx.key[i].stateChanged )
{
switch (buttbx.key[i].kstate) {
case PRESSED:
case HOLD:
Joystick.setButton(buttbx.key[i].kchar, 1);
break;
case RELEASED:
case IDLE:
Joystick.setButton(buttbx.key[i].kchar, 0);
break;
}
}
}
}
}
I hope someone can help me change the button state of the buttons 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 22.
