A lot to think about...That is some great stuff for me consider. With a lot of hard work and dedication to this stuff, I will eventually understand and appreciate everything you wrote.
I will kee ...

I have a very bouncy switch. It is homeade and literally has a ball within a cage that has 6 possible positions to be in. I need to debounce each of those positions. When the ball is in position, an ...

Okay, Great...I get it...So no wonder it isn't working...So it would just start "scanfaces" again and go back to the "keypress" function. Just a big loop.
Maybe I should have the ...

It still doesn't work. I am concerned it may be due to how I think the "break;" will perform. Will it break to where I think?

void wait_for_keypress_1(void)
{
char count=0;

I appreciate the advice.
I have my debounce to where I think it really should be working but it isn't.

Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions. The following is an excerpt from my code.

I can't believe I forgot my exclamation mark
"if(!input(pin_B2)==1)"

I know the code is probably needlessly complex. I don't know enough to make it simple. I figured I didn't need the ...

You are absolutely correct. I copied the wrong code out. The following is what I use and does in fact compile with no errors. I added a bitset to it.

PIC16F887 //EDIT--The code I am trying is actually in the 3rd post. The following will not return a value as it is marked as "void" my mistake

That's great..everything has been a great help

I appreciate all the suggestions and insight. I am now trying to do something with all his information.
Thanks to both of you

I am having trouble understanding one part of the function

#use fast_io(b)
int8 scanfaces(void) {
int8 port_val;
//Used so I/O operations don't change other pins. ...

I see the beauty in this line " port_val=(input_b()>>1)|0b11111000;"
setting port_val to = whatever port b is = to.
port b will = what ever button is pressed because the ">&g ...

OK.
Tell us what the six connection patterns are. Call the 4 connections A,B,C,D. Then for the six positions tell us what combinations are connected.
A nice little table....
Realistically it sounds ...

Here's what I think the schematic should be:

First you would set all 4 outputs low, with the TRIS bits set high (pins hi-Z) and the pullups turned on.

This is where {} brackets come in.
Everything inside a pair of these, is (logically) treated as a single statement. So:

if (fred)
this;
that;

//executes 'this' if fred is true, b ...
