adding buttons to stm creates problem. please help??
hello there, i have been working with stm 32 nucleo lately and found out that it is behaving strange when adding external buttons. If I add two buttons to toggle the number up and down and make the user button as start command the stm doesnt take any input from the external buttons. But if I change the functions of buttons and make the user buttons as one of the toggling buttons it take input from all three buttons and works fine, except having glitches sometimes with external buttons. Kindly explain me this phenomenon and guide me if I can fix this problem.
