Button

Button

Prototype unsigned short Button(unsigned short *port, unsigned short

pin, unsigned short time, unsigned short active_state);

Returns

255 if the pin was in the active state for given period.

0 otherwise

Description Function eliminates the influence of contact flickering upon pressing a

button (debouncing).

Parameter port specifies the location of the button; parameter pin is the
pin number on designated port and goes from 0..7; parameter time is a
debounce period in milliseconds; parameter active_state can be either
0 or 1, and it determines if the button is active upon logical zero or
logical one.

Requires Button pin must be configured as input.

Example Example reads RB0, to which the button is connected; on transition from
1 to 0 (release of button), PORTD is inverted:

do {
if (Button(&PORTB, 0, 1, 1)) oldstate = 1;
if (oldstate && Button(&PORTB, 0, 1, 0)) {
PORTD = ~PORTD;
oldstate = 0;
}
} while(1);
