hello
im having a problem getting my buttons to work. im using ubuttons library with utouch and utft. I can get a start screen with menu button, the menu button takes you to the menu screen with three more buttons. the top button works, it takes you to the screen for that device. the other two buttons light when pressed but do nothing. is it that using a "while" statement with an "if" statement, you can use only one button? would I have to right a function for each button? I have tried various different things to get this to work but nothing is working. I don't know if the screen is not sensing properly, would "debouncing" help?
he is the sketch that is modified from the buttons example
