Counting the seconds a button keep being pressed.

AtomSoft said:

if you check every 100ms for 3 seconds(3000ms) then you can setup a timeVar to increment every 100ms and if the value is 3000/100 =30 then its been held down the entire time.

You can also simple have it stop when the button goes low. but if you do it by using a variable and counting you can achieve more like...

1 second the var would be 10
2 seconds the var would be 20
3 seconds the var would be 30

Then you can check to see where the value is in between and have different function easy

Hey, thats exactly what I did Thanks!
I used a counter and counted until 30.
I just checked it and it works well, of couse I'll need to double check it when I'm less tired.

At first, I set the Momentary_Pressing_time to 100ms, and was wondering why when I pressed it a regular short press it didnt do anything, I thought there was something wrong with the mechanism.
But after debugging it, I relazied that a regular short pressing lasts somewhere between 100msec and 200msec

So right now I consider a regular pressing as any pressing that lasts up to 200mSec.
