Toggle program for a controller?

[20181180]

Quick question:

Does anyone have a screenshot or an explanation on how to make something that is toggle-able in LabVIEW? We're trying to have a piston be opened upon a button press and then have it close upon the same button press, not having to hold down the button or release the button to let it go out and in respectively.

Thanks

Here are some examples:

You also might want to include a function to "debounce" the button. A quick and dirty way is to wait at least 1/2 a second before recognizing a change in state of the button.

'Boolean Crossing PtByPt.vi' can be useful for detecting joystick button presses.
