Problem with a buttonbox

[ghost]

Hello Mr. Heironimus! First of all, thank's very much for your wonderful library! I've created a buttonbox sketch to use with a flight simulator with 32 non-momentary switches. But i have a problem: i need to change the operation of some switches, making them become pushbuttons. I've tried a lot, but i can't make them work as i want. Can you help me please Mr. Heironimus?

so, here we have 32 non-momentary switches, that give an imput every time there are switched ON or OFF. Suppose to use a pushbutton on Button #1, (Joy_button=2) how and where i must modify the sketch?

#include <Keypad.h> #include <Joystick.h>

#define ENABLE_PULLUPS #define NUMBUTTONS 32 #define NUMROWS 7 #define NUMCOLS 5

byte buttons[NUMROWS][NUMCOLS] = { {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}, {5, 6, 7, 8, 9}, {10, 11, 12, 13, 14}, {15, 16, 17, 18, 19}, {20, 21, 22, 23, 24}, {25, 26, 27, 28, 29}, {30, 31} };

byte rowPins[NUMROWS] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}; byte colPins[NUMCOLS] = {8, 9, 10, 11, 12};

Keypad buttbx = Keypad( makeKeymap(buttons), rowPins, colPins, NUMROWS, NUMCOLS);

Joystick_ Joystick(JOYSTICK_DEFAULT_REPORT_ID, JOYSTICK_TYPE_JOYSTICK, 32, 0, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false);

void setup() { Joystick.begin(); }

void loop() {

if (buttbx.getKeys()) { if ( buttbx.key[i].stateChanged ) { switch (buttbx.key[i].kstate) { //Button 1 working perfectly! case PRESSED: Joystick.setButton(buttbx.key[i].kchar, 1); delay(100); Joystick.setButton(buttbx.key[i].kchar, 0); break; case RELEASED: Joystick.setButton(buttbx.key[i].kchar, 1); delay(100); Joystick.setButton(buttbx.key[i].kchar, 0); break; } } if ( buttbx.key[i].stateChanged ) //Button 2 work like Button 1, i wanna to use this
{ //button like a pushbutton switch (buttbx.key[i].kstate) { case PRESSED: case HOLD: Joystick.setButton(buttbx.key[i].kchar, 1); break; case RELEASED: case IDLE: Joystick.setButton(buttbx.key[i].kchar, 0); break; } } if ( buttbx.key[i].stateChanged ) //Button 3 work like button 1 again { switch (buttbx.key[i].kstate) { case PRESSED: case HOLD: Joystick.setButton(buttbx.key[i].kchar, 1); break; case RELEASED: case IDLE: Joystick.setButton(buttbx.key[i].kchar, 0); break; } } } }

arduino recognize ALL button like non momentary switches Thank's a lot!!!

Resolved.

Created an account to say this isnt resolved. From the above example. The original code is this

void CheckAllButtons(void) { if (buttbx.getKeys()) { for (int i=0; i<LIST_MAX; i++)
{ if ( buttbx.key[i].stateChanged )
{ switch (buttbx.key[i].kstate) {
case PRESSED: case HOLD: Joystick.setButton(buttbx.key[i].kchar, 1); break; case RELEASED: case IDLE: Joystick.setButton(buttbx.key[i].kchar, 0); break; } }
} }

Now if you want to take a toggle switch that is either ON or off. but is not momentary.

The code you replace that with is this.

void CheckAllButtons(void) { if (buttbx.getKeys()) { for (int i=0; i<LIST_MAX; i++)
{ if ( buttbx.key[i].stateChanged )
{ switch (buttbx.key[i].kstate) {
case PRESSED: Joystick.setButton(buttbx.key[i].kchar, 1); delay(100); Joystick.setButton(buttbx.key[i].kchar, 0); break; case RELEASED: Joystick.setButton(buttbx.key[i].kchar, 1); delay(100); Joystick.setButton(buttbx.key[i].kchar, 0); break; } }

What this post was trying to say is that any switch a Arduino sees is seen as a pulse Even if the switch stays ON. so it will just do a pushbutton for a second.

I have no idea how to make some buttons act like pushbuttons (stay on for the length you press them) and others act like toggles that come on only for a second when turned to the on position then when turned off press the button again.

If I figure it out I will post it below. This is a cool project to make a button box. Ive been at this for 12 hours now and there is plenty of people searching for this info but no answers that are perfect.

This code should do the trick. I don't have a board to test this on that isn't in a project so it may not work.

Or now that I think about it, it may let you use a momentary switch as a toggle going on with the first press & off with the next.

` #include <Joystick.h>

Joystick_ Joystick;

const int BUTTON = 0; bool switchState = false;

void setup() { Joystick.begin(); Joystick.setButton(BUTTON, switchState); }

void loop() { bool buttonState = digitalRead(BUTTON); if (buttonState == HIGH) { switchState = !switchState; } Joystick.setButton(BUTTON, switchState); Joystick.sendState(); delay(50); } `
