arduino button click event
/* 4-Way Button: Click, Double-Click, Press+Hold, and Press+Long-Hold Test Sketch
By Jeff Saltzman
Oct. 13, 2009
To keep a physical interface as simple as possible, this sketch demonstrates generating four output events from a single push-button.
1) Click: rapid press and release
2) Double-Click: two clicks in quick succession
3) Press and Hold: holding the button down
4) Long Press and Hold: holding the button for a long time
