  • you need a state machine with two states (unpressed, pressing). You also save a timestamp each time the state changes. You can compare the last change's timestamp with the system time to determine if it's time to move to the next state. "unpressed" changes to "pressing" upon a button press (if state is unpressed). "pressing" changes to "unpressed" if it's been 1000ms since the last change AND the button is not pressed. Commented Feb 19, 2017 at 8:46
