Hi everyone.
I have a situation where i need to terminate a data stream after it has detected a long press (pressing a button for more than 1 second continuously without release).
Breaking down the process, it should be something like this:
Detect long press --> execute long press function --> terminate data --> wait until release (here, it basically doesnt do anything at all, but wait till its released and pressed again)
Does anyone know how I can do this?
Is this on the PIC again?

as a matter of fact, yes. its actually done. just wanted to make it perfect.Originally Posted by Click_here
It would really depend on how you were sending the stream
Are you sending it all at once, or one byte at a time?

Im sending by byte. on the oscilloscope, it would appear as if its transmitted the whole 32 bits. I have an issue where if i continuously press the button, it keeps on turning ON and OFF continuously until I let it go. I need it to just turn ON, then turn OFF then wait till i release then detect the button all over again.
ASCII has some old values that were used to indicate the end of text, and another to indicate end of transmission, etc. Sounds like you could use those kind of sentinel values, in your data stream, to good effect.
It sounds like you are not waiting for the user to let go of the button before doing anything else
With states, you usually have a state after you have finished your processing to wait for the user to let go of the button
Code://Using switch based states... case wait_for_release: if (button == released) { state = first_state; } break;
