arduino, sensor box and a button
Jun 22 2011 | 11:18 am
Hi, I'm looking for a realize a simple series of button to launch samples using arduino and sensor box. the problem is that everytime I push the button, obviously arduino send a fast sequence of 0 and 1, so my sample start and stop. when I push a button, I need only one 1, not a series of 1 and 0. any suggestion?
