i am trying to get pin 7 to trigger Keyboards "ALT+F2 and Pin 5 to Trigger "ALT+F3, pin 7 has a red momentary button and pin5 has a green momentary Button all buttons are opened until pressed. I also need this to only do it once then stop. i am very new to this type of coding. if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated. i have tried numerous code and as of right now pin 5 will trigger ALT+F2 and then if i do pin 5 again it will trigger ALT+F3 and pin 7 is doing nothing
here is my current code
const int buttonPin7 = 7; // the number of the pushbutton pin
const int buttonPin5 = 5; // the number of the pushbutton pin
// Variables will change:
int buttonState7; // the current reading from input 7 pin
int lastButtonState7 = LOW; // the previous reading from input 7 pin
int buttonState5; // the current reading from input 5 pin
int lastButtonState5 = LOW; // the previous reading from input 5 pin
// the following variables are long's because the time, measured in miliseconds,
// will quickly become a bigger number than can be stored in an int.
long lastDebounceTime5 = 0; // the last time the output pin was toggled
long debounceDelay5 = 50; // the debounce time; increase if the output flickers
long lastDebounceTime7 = 0; // the last time the output pin was toggled
long debounceDelay7 = 50; // the debounce time; increase if the output flickers
void setup() {
pinMode(buttonPin7, INPUT_PULLUP); //sets pin 7 to use pullup resistor to 5v supply
pinMode(buttonPin5, INPUT_PULLUP); //sets pin 5 to use pullup resistor to 5v supply
}
void loop() {
// read the state of the switch into a local variable:
int reading7 = digitalRead(buttonPin7);
int reading5 = digitalRead(buttonPin5);
// check to see if you just pressed the button
// (i.e. the input went from LOW to HIGH), and you've waited
// long enough since the last press to ignore any noise:
// If the switch changed, due to noise or pressing:
if (reading5 != lastButtonState5) {
// reset the debouncing timer
lastDebounceTime5 = millis();
}
if (reading7 != lastButtonState7) {
// reset the debouncing timer
lastDebounceTime7 = millis();
}
if ((millis() - lastDebounceTime5) > debounceDelay5) {
if ((millis() - lastDebounceTime7) > debounceDelay7) {
// whatever the reading is at, it's been there for longer
// than the debounce delay, so take it as the actual current state:
// if the button state has changed:
if (reading5 != buttonState5) {
buttonState5 = buttonState5;
if (buttonState5 == LOW) {
}
}
Keyboard.press(KEY_LEFT_ALT);
Keyboard.press(KEY_F3);
Keyboard.releaseAll();
delay(600);
buttonState5 = reading5;
// save the reading. Next time through the loop,
// it'll be the lastButtonState:
lastButtonState5 = reading5;
}
if (reading7 != buttonState7) {
buttonState7 = reading7;
if (buttonState7 == LOW) {
}
}
Keyboard.press(KEY_LEFT_ALT);
Keyboard.press(KEY_F2);
Keyboard.releaseAll();
delay(600);
buttonState7 = reading7;
// save the reading. Next time through the loop,
// it'll be the lastButtonState:
lastButtonState7 = reading7;
}
else {
}
}
We just did not fix it. I suggest that you start with one button and get that working. If you're stuck with that, we can help you further.
