Toggle button

[wpingleton]

Guys , I’m new to the arduino world . I’m on lesson 29 or so of Paul MCcwhorters YouTube series . The thing that has confused me the most is the toggle switch . “One press turns led on and stays on, the other press turns the led off and stays off until pressed again “ I got this to work by following a few codes online but it just isn’t clicking in my brain . The easiest one to code I found was using a Status =false and a status =!status with a IF statement followed by a While in the IF clause .

Can anyone explain the toggle switch on a more simple term?

Thanks

It is really not appropriate for you tell us to go to the internet to find what “I” am doing.

There are rules you need to follow on these forums.
