Hi everyone,
I'm trying to implement a long press detection on a push button without using the built-in Long Click block, and I'd love to hear how others have solved this.
The reason I want to avoid the Long Click block is a timing issue: the block only confirms a long press after 3× the TI parameter. This means that if I set TI = 0.5s (to keep the short click responsive), the long press is only detected after 1.5s — which feels sluggish. On the other hand, if I lower TI to make the long press faster, the short click threshold becomes too tight and unreliable.
What I'm looking for is a solution where:
- Short press is detected quickly on button release
- Long press fires at exactly my chosen threshold (e.g. 1s), not 3× it
- The two outputs are mutually exclusive
Thanks!
