Update from 11 Apr. 2020:
The algorithm is sound, but the code could use a good cleaning and some unit tests since I'm much more skilled now. Nevertheless, it does work, so use it.
The only functional example right now may be debounce_event_USE_THIS_EXAMPLE, so use this example!

Readme Update History (newest on top)
-20150804: updated links, instructions, & license info
-20141031: corrected a bug which prevented multiple buttons from working; added a 5 button example.
Donate and download above. Install the library into the Arduino IDE (using Sketch --> Include Library --> Add .ZIP Library), then run the examples to see how to use the library. You may view the examples in the IDE under File --> Examples --> eRCaGuy_ButtonReader.
- I wanted a simple and universal, yet very powerful & reliable library to read a button or switch in such a way that I can easily implement toggled actions and momentary actions, know the true, debounced state of a button or switch at any given time, and specify whether I want an action to take place when the button is pressed or released.
- This library makes implementing all of these things easy for me, and I now use it on all of my projects that require reading a button or switch, so I wanted to share it with others.
- Hopefully you find it useful too.
