Push button not responding

Using Arduino General Electronics
#1

Hello, I am trying to attach a push button to my frequency detection code. I want it to where when the button is pressed and held, the microphone will start reading values and stop when the button is let go. I tried add that to the code but no luck. I dont get any readings when i push the button.

Can someone look over my code.

#define LENGTH 512
byte rawData[LENGTH];
int count;

//Sample Frequency in kHz

const float sample_freq = 2400;

const byte buttonPin = 9;
const byte microphone = A0;

int len = sizeof(rawData);
int i,k;
long sum, sum_old;
int thresh = 0;
float freq_per = 0;
byte pd_state = 0;

bool
    bMeasureEnable;
byte
    buttonState,
    lastButtonState;
    
void setup(){

  pinMode(microphone, OUTPUT);
    pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT);
    lastButtonState = digitalRead( buttonPin );

    bMeasureEnable = false;
    
  analogRead(A0);
  Serial.begin(115200);
  count = 0;
}


void loop(){

  ReadButton();
    MeasureFrequency();

}//loop

void ReadButton( void )
{
    static unsigned long
        timeRead = 0;

    if( millis() - timeRead < 30 )
        return;

    timeRead = millis();
    
    buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin);
    if( buttonState != lastButtonState )
    {
        lastButtonState = buttonState;
        if( buttonState == HIGH ) 
            bMeasureEnable = true;
        else 
            bMeasureEnable = false;

        
    }//if
        
}//ReadButton

void MeasureFrequency( void )
{

      static unsigned long
        timeMeasure = 0;
        
    float 
        freq;    

    if( millis() - timeMeasure < 1000 )
        return;
    timeMeasure = millis();

    if( !bMeasureEnable )
        return;

  if (count < LENGTH) {
    count++;
    rawData[count] = analogRead(A0)>>2;
  }
  else {
    sum = 0;
    pd_state = 0;
    int period = 0;
    for(i=0; i < len; i++)
    {
      // Autocorrelation
      sum_old = sum;
      sum = 0;
      for(k=0; k < len-i; k++) sum += (rawData[k]-128)*(rawData[k+i]-128)/256;
      // Serial.println(sum);
      
     if (pd_state == 2 && (sum-sum_old) <=0) 
      {
        period = i;
        pd_state = 3;
      }
      if (pd_state == 1 && (sum > thresh) && (sum-sum_old) > 0) pd_state = 2;
      if (!i) {
        thresh = sum * 0.5;
        pd_state = 1;
      }
    }
    // for(i=0; i < len; i++) Serial.println(rawData[i]);
    // Frequency identified in Hz
    if (thresh >100) {
      freq_per = sample_freq/period;
      Serial.println(freq_per);
    }
    count = 0;
  }
}
#2 
  pinMode(microphone, OUTPUT);

Why?

Forget about all that microphone and frequency detection stuff for now. You need to start with a basic sketch you can use to verify that you can use the button correctly. For this purpose, you could use the code from this tutorial:

Note that the code assumes you have an LED connected to pin 13. Some Arduino boards have their LED connected to a different pin, which is often defined by LED_BUILTIN.

Make sure you understand that tutorial and the code completely and that the button is working as expected. After that, you can go back to your more complex project with the confidence that the button is wired and working correctly.
