Counting Loops

VEX V5 General Discussion Technical Discussion
#1

I am trying to program in EasyC how to count an if loop. I want the count to count after 3 times of pressing the bump switch that it moves/jumps to a different line of code. I am new to using EasyC please feel free to bring it down to my level.

Thanks for any help

Something like this would probably work


void main ( void )
{
      char Button = 1; 
      char ButtonLast = 1; 
      char CountButton = 0; 

      while ( 1 ) // Loop Forever - Place Operator Code in this Loop
      {
            Button = GetDigitalInput ( 1 ) ; // Get Button Status
            if ( Button == 0 && ButtonLast == 1 ) // If Button is Pressed and Wasn't Before
            {
                  CountButton ++ ; // Add 1 to the variable Countbutton
                  Wait ( 20 ) ; // debounce the button a bit
            }
            ButtonLast = Button ; // Set the ButtonLast variable to the current value of Button
            if ( CountButton >= 3 ) // if Countbutton is greater than or equal to 3
            {
                  // Do Something 
            }
      }
}

Was unable to complile the code.

CountButton ++ Is giving me an error

In EasyC I used the User Code to put this part in. Should I use something else?

You should use Assignment but if you use user code all lines of C should end with “;”
