Homebuilt ROVs Forum

Hi there,

I am fairly new to Arduino and need some help tweaking a program. I have been looking at the Arduino program V1 for an ROV by Hamish Trove on the below webpage which is 2 x Nano communicating over serial, using a PS2 controller.

I am trying to change the Headlights function from an on/off toggle function to a momentary switch function where you hold the PS2 button and the lights go on and then when released lights go off. I am using 2 LED's (1 on Master and 1 on Slave) to show if the switch function is working properly.

I've had a few goes amending the code but get a lot of flickering and inconsistency?

Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Well I managed to get some advice and this was the solution from a different forum which worked.


Replace this:


Code:
---------
if(ps2x.ButtonPressed(PSB_PAD_LEFT)) //Pressed
{
txdata.LEDHdlts = !txdata.LEDHdlts; //Toggle the LED light flag
}
---------
With this...

Code:
---------
txdata.LEDHdlts = ps2x.Button(PSB_PAD_LEFT);
---------
