use muTimer for multiple in/outs

[byts4me]

Hi MichaelUray. Hope this is the right place to ask for help (my first attemt in this forum). I found your library very useful. Works fine for one input/output as shown in your examples. But by trying to extend it to five inputs/outputs I`m facing a problem. It does not work at all. In my example it is extended to two inputs/outputs. I´m using an ESP32 mini. Can you please give me an idea how to proceed? Thanks in advance

/*
   Example ButtonDebounceDelayOnOffAndLedFlashingCycleOnOff.ino for muTimer library.
   Library source: https://github.com/MichaelUray/muTimer

   This example creates a blinking LED (100ms/500ms) if the input button gets pressed for at least 1s.
   If the button gets released for at least 2s, then the blinking stops.
   It uses the delayOnOff() and cycleOnOff() functions.

   The library calls are non-blocking, means other code can get executed while the time duration is running.

#include <muTimer.h>
muTimer mutButton1Debounce = muTimer();
muTimer mutLed1Flashing = muTimer();
muTimer mutButton2Debounce = muTimer();
muTimer mutLed2Flashing = muTimer();

#define PIN_BUTTON2 33
#define PIN_LED1 15
#define PIN_LED2 17

// pin status read from input
bool button1;
bool button2;
// output written to hardware output pin
bool led1;
bool led2;

void setup()
{
    // configure input hardware pin with internal pull-up resistor, button has to switch against GND
    pinMode(PIN_BUTTON1, INPUT_PULLUP);
    pinMode(PIN_BUTTON2, INPUT_PULLUP);
    pinMode(PIN_LED1, OUTPUT);
    pinMode(PIN_LED2, OUTPUT);
}

{
    // read input (button) from hardware (input is inverted since internal pull-up resistor gets used)
    button1 = !digitalRead(PIN_BUTTON1);
    button2 = !digitalRead(PIN_BUTTON2);

    // delay, blinkt erst wenn Signal mindestens für Dauer Wert 1 anliegt (true); Nachlauf, blinkt, wenn
    // Wert für min. Dauer von Wert 2 nicht mehr anliegt für die Dauer von Wert 2 (false)
    // in a normal debounce application whould that be just a few ms,
    //  these high values are just for this example that you can recognize the time delay.
    if (mutButton1Debounce.delayOnOff(button1, 2000, 8000))
        if (mutButton2Debounce.delayOnOff(button2, 1000, 3000))
        {
            // the LED is on for 100ms and then off for 500ms
            led1 = mutLed1Flashing.cycleOnOff(5, 500);
            led2 = mutLed2Flashing.cycleOnOff(100, 500);
        }
        else
        {
            led1 = 0;
            led2 = 0;
        }
    // write output (LED) to hardware
    digitalWrite(PIN_LED1, led1);
    digitalWrite(PIN_LED2, led2);
}

You did not write exactly what you would like to achieve, but I think this is for what are you looking for:

    if (mutButton1Debounce.delayOnOff(button1, 2000, 8000))
    {
        // the LED is on for 100ms and then off for 500ms
        led1 = mutLed1Flashing.cycleOnOff(5, 500);
    }
    else
    {
        led1 = 0;
    }

    if (mutButton2Debounce.delayOnOff(button2, 1000, 3000))
    {
        // the LED is on for 100ms and then off for 500ms
        led2 = mutLed2Flashing.cycleOnOff(100, 500);
    }
    else
    {
        led2 = 0;
    }

thanks for the quick response. Well I re-arranged the sequence of the code as you have shown and it works - I`m surprised. But to answer your question: what I want to achieve is to handle 5 digital input signals from 5 different radar sensors at a time. The on delay for debouncing, the off delay for delaying the alarm. So my question was more generell. Is my attempt to create 5 on/off muTimer delays as shown in my sketch (just two are shown here) to just number the variables different correct? It obviously is.
So my problem appears to solved. You have written a very useful library. Thanks a lot for spending your time for this issue.
