Button event

Returns the ID of one of these button event types:

  • Pressed Down (1)
  • Released Up (2)
  • Clicked (3)
  • Long clicked (4)
  • Hold (5)

This block can be used to define the event type in on button event and on pin event.

Note, that by pressing a Button multiple events can raise at the same moment:

# User input Event raised
1 Press A down A.Down
2 Hold A for > 1.5 seconds A.Hold
3 release A A.Up
A.LongClick
# User input Event raised
1 Press A down A.Down
2 Press B down B.Down
3 A+B.Down
Release A up A.Up
A+B.Up
A+B.Click
Release B up B.Up
  • Every Up-Event will always be followed by either a Click- OR Long-Click-Event, depending on how long the Down-Event has been ago.
