Fix button state detection to prevent repeated keystrokes on hold

[Copilot]

Current implementation triggers sendKeySequence() repeatedly every DEBOUNCE_TIME_MS (150ms) while a button is held down, instead of triggering once per press.

Root Cause

Button handling checks if button is currently LOW rather than detecting transition from HIGH to LOW:

if (buttonState[i] == LOW) {
  if (currentTime - lastTriggerTime[i] >= DEBOUNCE_TIME_MS) {
    sendKeySequence(i);  // Re-triggers every 150ms while held
  }
}

Changes

• Add previousButtonState[NUM_BUTTONS] array to track state transitions
• Initialize previous states to HIGH in setup()
• Modify loop condition to trigger only on LOW && previousButtonState[i] == HIGH
• Update previousButtonState[i] after each iteration

This ensures keystroke sequences fire once per button press event, not continuously while held.

Bug: Tasto Premuto e Tenuto Premuto Genera Ripetizioni di Keystroke

Descrizione

Quando un tasto viene tenuto premuto (premuto e non rilasciato), la funzione sendKeySequence() viene chiamata ripetutamente ogni DEBOUNCE_TIME_MS millisecondi (default: 150ms), inviando multiple sequenze di keystroke invece di una sola.

Comportamento Atteso

Un tasto dovrebbe inviare la sua sequenza di keystroke configurata una sola volta quando viene premuto inizialmente, indipendentemente da quanto a lungo viene tenuto premuto. Una nuova sequenza di keystroke dovrebbe essere inviata solo quando il tasto viene rilasciato e poi premuto di nuovo.

Comportamento Attuale

Quando un tasto viene tenuto premuto continuamente, la sequenza di keystroke viene inviata ripetutamente ogni 150ms (il tempo di debounce), causando ripetizioni indesiderate dei comandi.

Causa del Problema

L'implementazione attuale in arduino/push-push/push-push.ino (righe 108-119) controlla se il tasto è attualmente premuto (stato LOW) e se è passato abbastanza tempo dall'ultimo trigger. Questa logica non rileva i cambiamenti di stato (transizione da HIGH a LOW), quindi ogni 150ms mentre il tasto è tenuto premuto, la condizione viene soddisfatta di nuovo e sendKeySequence() viene chiamata.

Soluzione Proposta

Implementare il rilevamento del cambio di stato tramite:

1. Memorizzare lo stato precedente del tasto per ciascun tasto
2. Attivare sendKeySequence() solo quando un tasto passa da HIGH (non premuto) a LOW (premuto)
3. Il timer di debounce dovrebbe prevenire la riattivazione finché il tasto non viene rilasciato e premuto di nuovo

Impatto

Questo bug colpisce tutti gli utenti che tengono premuti i tasti per più di 150ms, causando potenzialmente:

• Ripetizioni indesiderate di keystroke
• Comportamento imprevisto nelle applicazioni che ricevono i keystroke
• Confusione sul comportamento previsto del dispositivo

Ambiente

• Firmware Arduino: v1.0.1
• Scheda: Arduino Leonardo / Pro Micro (o qualsiasi scheda compatibile HID)
• File: arduino/push-push/push-push.ino
• Righe interessate: 108-119

Passi per Riprodurre

1. Caricare il firmware attuale su un Arduino
2. Collegare un tasto a uno dei pin configurati
3. Premere e tenere premuto il tasto per più di 150ms
4. Osservare l'output del Serial Monitor - vedrai "premuto" stampato più volte
5. Osservare i keystroke inviati - si ripeteranno ogni 150ms mentre il tasto è tenuto premuto
