Using Serial imput to run a code

Projects Programming
58

So my serial imput is now working flawlessly, however, my checkButton() function is working less than desirable. It will occasionally trigger the code but very rarely will it register no matter what i try. I have tried two different iterations of the code, #7 has debounce, and #6 does not. Neither is working.

Here is the code snippets of the function in both sketches:

#6

void checkButton() {
  int reading = digitalRead(buttonPin);
  buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin);
  if (buttonState == LOW) {
    Serial.println("<Button>");
    if ((toggle [1] == 1) || (toggle [1] == 2)) {
      toggle [1] = 0;
    }
    else if (toggle [1] == 0) {
      toggle [1] = 1;
    }
  }
}

#7

void checkButton() {
  int reading = digitalRead(buttonPin);
  buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin);
  if (reading != lastButtonState) {
    lastDebounceTime = millis();
  }
  if ((millis() - lastDebounceTime) > debounceDelay) {
    if (reading != buttonState) {
      buttonState = reading;
      if (buttonState == LOW) {
        Serial.println("<Button>");
        if ((toggle [1] == 1) || (toggle [1] == 2)) {
          toggle [1] = 0;
        }
        else if (toggle [1] == 0) {
          toggle [1] = 1;
          delay(500);
        }
      }
    }
  }
  lastButtonState = reading;
}

Below i will attach the full codes.
