Hello everyone,
I'm trying to do a count of button presses using a Metro Mini and Data Streamer but it only seems to go to 255 and start at zero again. If I use less then 255 it works fine and starts at 1. I'm trying to reach a count up to around 31000 cycles if the material lasts that long. I've tried to use a cell state change to do this but it does not register the stream only manual inputs with Carriage Return. Also tried to do multiple counts of cells when it sees a number come up then go to another cell and add the cells but it doesn't lock that number in the cell when reached. I'm very new at this and I've combined code from different sources then comment out the items that doesn't work. I can start and stop the motor using excel macros or a given number to go to less then 255. The code below is for the Metro Mini (Arduino). I would like to either use this or a VBA code or a formula to do a count of cycles. Sorry about the mess in the code, still experimenting/learning

This example demonstrates how the PushEventButton captures each individual
button press as discrete events. It does not matter how long the button is
pressed down or released. Only the transition between pressed and released
is captured.
The button should be wired such that when pressed, the "buttonPin" is
connected to ground.
The LED should be wired with the "ledPin" to the positive lead and the
negative lead should be connected to ground. A current limiting resistor
should be used.
