Hi Everyone,

I am very new to this and hope someone can help.

Im driving an Arduino Tank and require buttons from ControlP5 to perfom an action while pressing the button than stop once released. I can do this function with keyboard but cant get it to work with ControlP5 buttons

Can this be done?

Thanks Bart
