I'm making a code that reads the distance from the ultrasonic sensor and uses it to count the amount of times something went X cm close to it. I think that it'll count more than once when it gets close enough and I need to be able to change this X value after I pressed two of my buttons for, at least, two seconds. I know it probably is answered in here but I'm kinda new to this forums so I don't know where to look for things.
Thanks for your help and sorry to bother you guys!

You need to detect when it becomes close enough rather than when it is close enough
Look at the StateChangeDetection example in the IDE
And if you want help with your code you'll need to post it here so we can see it. And perhaps be clearer about what it is supposed to do e.g. how does pressing 2 buttons for 2 seconds change the value of X?

I though of doing so but it's written in portuguese and I didn't do it, but I think it's pretty straight forward so I'll do it now.
It's a pretty long code, I didn't knew Arduino could make functions other than setup and loop, and I'm too lazy to change it...

mais = plus
menos = minus
so I want to hold plus and minus for, at least, two seconds so It saves the distance the ultrasonic sensor is reading at the moment as the minimum distance.
My code counts the amount of repetitions you make in a gym equipment based on the distance to the weight.
UKHeliBob:
You need to detect when it becomes close enough rather than when it is close enoughLook at the StateChangeDetection example in the IDE
I got how he did it at the example but I can't think of a way to do it for the ultrasonic sensor

Set a boolean variable to false. If the boolean is false and the distance is less than your target minimum add 1 to the count and set the boolean variable to true. If the distance is greater than your minimum set the boolean to false.

Man you're a genius hahahaha This will help me a lot, thanks!!!
Now I just need to figure out how to get the minimum distance set after pressing + and - for, at least, 2 seconds and I'll be done!!
I though of doing so but it's written in portuguese
The Arduino is NOT programmed in Portuguese. It is programmed in C++.

ohh i was trying to tell it to do something by writing a formal letter and asking it if it could...
Jokes aside, I meant that the variable names are in portuguese and also the comments, so people might not understand it that easily.
