buttons

Question

I want to us 7 buttons with my arduino uno which will send out different values. For example if i press one button i will get the value of 10, if i press a different button i will get 20, if i press another i will get 30 etc. I haven't found a way to separate the results sent to the serial port.

Simon- What does you current code look like? It seems like you are printing all the button states in one line. Is this correct? What you could do is have a line that checks if the button state is high then print that line. Nate

Simon in the function setup not defined buttons as input. const int bt = 2; const int bt1 = 4; int btState = 1; int lastState = 1; void setup(){ pinMode(bt, INPUT); pinMode(bt1, INPUT); Serial.begin(9600); } void loop() { btState = digitalRead(bt); if (btState != lastState) { if (btState == HIGH) Serial.println(440); delay(30); lastState = btState; } btState = digitalRead(bt1); if (btState != lastState) { if (btState == HIGH) Serial.println(392); delay(30); lastState = btState; } }

int myChar[] = {"261", "293", "329", "349", "392", "440", "493" };

int butArray[] = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8};

int count = 0;

int timer = 50;

void setup(){

Serial.begin(9600);

while (!Serial);

for (count=0;count<6;count++) {

pinMode(butArray[count], INPUT);

}

void loop() {

for (count=0;count<7;count++) {

/* read value of buton based on butArray see Arduino - Debounce */

If butArray[count] = 'HIGH' {

Serial.print(myChar[count]);

}

delay(timer);

}

Take out the " marks on the first line. You need to complete the comment into code reading Arduino - Debounce for the details how.
