Remember you're a button

Using Arduino Programming Questions
#1

Hi,

Just having some small confusion, about how to turn an LED on with one button press and when you press the button again; turns the led off.

Instead of lighting up when held down. Surely it's something very simple!

Sorry for the extremely basic question!

Do a search for "debouncing button" to get on your way.

Thank you very very much!! :)

This sketch is maybe want you want, every time you push a button a LED wil turn on, and next time you push itthe LED will turn off.

There is no debouncing , and there should be

int vent=100; const int buttonPin = 7; int flag=0; int buttonState = 0;

void setup() { pinMode(4, OUTPUT); pinMode(5, OUTPUT); pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT); Serial.begin(9600); }

void loop() { // digitalWrite(4, HIGH);

buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin); delay(vent);

Serial.print(buttonState); Serial.println();

if (buttonState==HIGH){

if (flag==1) { flag=0; } else { flag=1; }

}

if (flag==1){ Serial.print("HIGH\n"); digitalWrite(4, HIGH);

}

if (flag==0){

digitalWrite(4, LOW);

Serial.print("LOW\n"); }

}

I wrote it in an easy way…
Hope this helps you… :slight_smile:

int button_pin = 11;
int led_pin = 13;
int button_state = 0;
int led_state = LOW;

void setup(){
  pinMode(button_pin, INPUT);
  pinMode(led_pin, OUTPUT);
}

void loop(){
  if(button_state == HIGH){
    led_state = !led_state;
    digitalWrite(13, led_state);
    delay(100);
  }
}

Cheers for the response, really good looking code, but couldn't get the LED to come on!

Joy: I wrote it in an easy way.. Hope this helps you.. :)

Enjoy your rapidly blinking LED. That will, as long as the button is pressed, toggle the LED every 100ms.
