Send Serial.println once?

Projects Programming

When I push a button on Arduino it sends a message via Serial.println.

This is displayed in the serial monitor and repeats as per my delay. Is there a method of sending this message WHEN the button is pushed instead of constantly?

Here's what I'm currently using:

  if (digitalRead(switchPin3) == HIGH) {
    Serial.println("3High\n\r");}

Is there a method of sending this message WHEN the button is pushed instead of constantly?

There are several ways. One is to look at the state change detection example, to deal with the situation where the switch BECOMES pressed, not IS pressed.

That's in 02.Digital section of the examples, and called StateChangeDetection

Its useful to checkout most of the examples and make mental notes about
ways to tackle specific problems, they can come in handy.
