Toggle Motor On & Off Help.....

[programmr]

Hello, does anyone know how to program in MPLab this thing... We want pwm02 to turn on if p3_sw_trig was hit. Then, if it's hit again, to shut pwm02 off. Basically like an on or off button. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

This involves storing the last state of your button, something like this:

void Run_Motor_Button (void)
static unsigned char engage_motor = 0; //Should the motor be on?
static unsigned char last_button_state = 0; //This will be the last position of p3_sw_trig
if (p3_sw_trig && !last_button_state){ //The button is pushed but wasn't last time
engage_motor = !engage_motor //Change what should be happening to the motor
}
last_button_state = p3_sw_trig; //Update the state of the button
if (engage_motor){ //Use the motor if needed
pwm02 = 255;
} else {
pwm02 = 127;
}

This is a good thing to know how to do, as it is used fairly often. I advise that instead of copy/pasting the code that you read the comments and write a similar routine yourself.
