I wanted some button logic for two different output states:

(1) change and hold the state to ON/OFF on EACH button press

(2) changes on JUST ONE CYCLE to 'ON' on a button press

the code...

function myOnOffButton(swButtonAction)
{
// ON/OFF Button Logic- Terry Abbott - 2023.03.18

// single button flipflop logic
// changes and holds the state to ON/OFF on EACH button press
// (button should be set up as press/release)

if (root==null)
{
root=0;
}
if (root==null)
{
root=0;
}

if (swButtonAction != root)
{
if (root == 0)
{
root = !root;
}
root = swButtonAction;
}
return root;
}


function myOneShotButton(swButtonAction)
{
// ONE-SHOT Button Logic- Terry Abbott - 2023.03.18

// single button flipflop logic
// changes on JUST ONE CYCLE to 'ON' on a button press
// (button should be set up as press/release)

var oneShot;

if (root==null)
{
root=0;
}
if (root==null)
{
root=0;
}

oneShot = false;

if (swButtonAction != root)
{
if (root == 0)
{
// should really be set to true, with each call ic'd to false
oneShot = true;
}
root = swButtonAction;
}

return oneShot;
}
