Analog Button Adapter

The button adapter is a simple input adapter that maps physical buttons connected to analog pins to menu controls.

To use the analog button adapter, you need to include the necessary header:

#include <input/AnalogButtonAdapter.h>

Next, you need to create a AnalogButtonAdapter object and pass the analog Pin, value of valid press, optional margin (default: 20) and the menu object:

With default margin

AnalogButtonAdapter ButtonBackSpace(&menu, A0, 20, BACKSPACE);
AnalogButtonAdapter ButtonUp(&menu, A0, 100, UP);
AnalogButtonAdapter ButtonDown(&menu, A0, 250, DOWN);
AnalogButtonAdapter ButtonBack(&menu, A0, 400, BACK);
AnalogButtonAdapter ButtonEnter(&menu, A0, 640, ENTER);

With custom margin

AnalogButtonAdapter ButtonBackSpace(&menu, A0, 20, 50, BACKSPACE);
AnalogButtonAdapter ButtonUp(&menu, A0, 100, 50, UP);
AnalogButtonAdapter ButtonDown(&menu, A0, 250, 50, DOWN);
AnalogButtonAdapter ButtonBack(&menu, A0, 400, 50, BACK);
AnalogButtonAdapter ButtonEnter(&menu, A0, 640, 50, ENTER);

Finally, you need to observe the AnalogButtonAdapter object in the loop function:

void loop() {
      ButtonBackSpace.observe();
      ButtonUp.observe();
      ButtonDown.observe();
      ButtonBack.observe();
      ButtonEnter.observe();
}

The AnalogButtonAdapter will take care of translating the physical button presses into menu controls, allowing you to navigate through the menu system with ease.
