Running/switching multiple sketch when button press

[hoangv]

Hi,
I did some research in the forum, am still getting confused. Is there a simplest way for dummies like me? Thanks

I have pin13 available on my button switch:
{
if(digitalRead(13))
{

@hoangv

{
if(digitalRead(13))
{

There's no way this is going to compile. Can you post the whole thing? What are you trying to do, and what's the issue with your current attempt?

I thought so, i did some research. Basically, i have a continuity test sketch that runs 4 pin cable, i want to add same script for 8 pin. I like to toggle in between 4 and 8. As of now i am using 2x arduino 2x display for both. Wish i can do that just 1 with toggle switch.

As of now i am using 2x arduino 2x display for both.

You mean you have two independent (arduino+display)s, one for each line? And you want to merge that into a single arduino+display unit?

[hoangv]

Yes

Alright. It's better if you start by posting what you have coded so far (within code tags), together with a rough schematic of your contraption (a photo of a drawing is OK; a photo of your actual thing, less so).

please see above: #define PIN 4, that's the only thing I change to make a difference codes for 8 pin, 12, e.g.
Thanks

#define PIN 4

int endA[PIN] = {22,24,26,28,}; //pins end A
int endB[PIN] = {23,25,27,29}; //pins endB
int pSwitch = A0;
int pEncA = A1;
int pEncB = A2;

//results
int result[PIN];

//setup pins
for (int i = 0; i < PIN; i++) {
pinMode(endA[i], OUTPUT);//set output pins (end A)

pinMode(pSwitch, INPUT_PULLUP);
//lcd.clear();
//lcd.setCursor(0, 1);
