GetButton()

GetButton();

This function will return the number of button presses that have been detected since the last call to the function. The counter is reset to 0 by this function.

While the library trusts that a hardware debounce has been done, it will still perform its own simple checking which merely assumes that any repeated signals within 150ms of each other count as a single push.

Example:

// Instantiate the class using all of the pins defined in constants     //
EncoderClass Encoder(ROTARY_PIN_1, ROTARY_PIN_2, PUSHBUTTON_PIN, RED_PIN, 
                     GREEN_PIN, BLUE_PIN);

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  delay(1000);
} // of method setup()
void loop(){
uint8_t presses = Encoder.GetButton(); // See how often button was pressed //
 if (presses>0) {                      // If the button was pushed,        //
   Serial.print(presses);              // Display the value                //
   if (presses==1) Serial.println(" press.");
              else Serial.println(" presses.");
 } // of if-then we have one or more button presses
} // of method loop()
