Control a DC Motor with Push Button as a switch

heartme1218

Hi I'm trying to turn a DC Motor on and off using a push button. I built my circuit on Arduino Uno board. I checked my circuits for both motor and switch and they work. Can someone please take a look at my code please and tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thank you.

import processing.serial.*;
import cc.arduino.*;
Arduino arduino;

//DC motor - with this setup it has to be an analog pin!
int motorPin = 3; 
int buttonPin = 2;
int count = 0;
int state = 0;      // the current state of the output pin
int reading;           // the current reading from the input pin
int previous = 1;    // the previous reading from the input pin
long time = 0;         // the last time the output pin was toggled
long debounce = 200;   // the debounce time, increase if the output flickers


void setup() {

  size (500, 500);
  arduino = new Arduino(this, Arduino.list()[0], 57600);
  arduino.pinMode(motorPin, Arduino.OUTPUT);
  arduino.pinMode(buttonPin, Arduino.INPUT);
}
void draw() {

 reading = arduino.analogRead(buttonPin);
 println("Reading value = ");
 println(reading);

if (reading == 0 && previous == 1 && millis() - time > debounce) {
    if (state == 0)
      state = 1;
    else
      state = 0;

    time = millis();    
  }
if (state == 1){
  arduino.analogWrite(motorPin, 1000);
}
else 
{
 // arduino.analogWrite(motorPin, 0);
}
  previous = reading;
}


void mousePressed()
{
  //turn on the motor when the mouse is pressed
  arduino.analogWrite(motorPin, 1000);
}

void mouseReleased()
{
  //turn off the motor when the mouse is released
  arduino.analogWrite(motorPin, 0);
}

have you loaded the Firmata into your Arduino?

Run Arduino, open the Examples > Firmata > StandardFirmata sketch, and upload it to the Arduino board.

what you try to do is best achieved with arduino alone, no need to involve processing.
