multi function buttons?

[matrigs]

okay i'm lost on this case - is it possible to configure buttons the way so that it - pressed once has one function - pressed a second time has another function and pressed a third time jumps back to zero ?

of course, you need to write a function in C to do it...

should be very easy

[matrigs]

i was afraid you would use that term "write in c"... i guess i will have to learn it if i really want to achieve something...

Matrigs,

Not really an answer, but it's been asked about at least. ;D

There's a second post linked in that one too. Never did get to messing with that. I asked about shift (modifier) keys too, and eventually got a sloppy version of that working, but I'm not sure if it was done right. :-\

BTW- I'm strictly assembler right now too.

it's really really easy to do in C

using ifs or a switch

for example:

if (buttonPressNumber == 0) {

    //do whatever here

    buttonPressNumber++;

}

if (buttonPressNumber == 1) {

    //do whatever here

    buttonPressNumber++;

}

if (buttonPressNumber == 2) {

    //do whatever here

    buttonPressNumber=0;

}

basically yes!

but, you don't really need to code from scratch, there are so many bits of code about on the site you can cut and paste and edit - much easier and a great way to learn!

you are a braver man than I!

I like to consider myself a hard headed old fool. 8)

Assembler just happens to be what I started off with. If all the C wrapper stuff for the MIDIBox was as common then, I'd probably have gotten into that. It was coincidentally around the time I was trying to learn some anyway, but I've forgotten most of it now. ;D

PS- I barely get by with assembler, so throwing something else in the mix probably wouldn't be the best idea right now.

[DavidBanner]

whatever works for you!

Good luck with the assembler mission.

Let me know if I can help with any logic stuff, I'm sure there are lots of ppl on here who can guide you through the asm minefield....
