while loop stop

[adgurrol]

hi so im having trouble stoping my while loop since i have another while loop and a for loop inside. I need to press stop and then run by other two loop twice till the main while loop stops. Any help would be appreciated.

Well, these tiny inner "pause" loops should be eliminated, they are very clumsy. Use a state machine architecture instead (and calling a button "GO" but labeling it as "stop button" does not really add clarity. 😄 

If you want the STOP button to work while the FOR loop is executing, the button needs to be inside the FOR loop. Wire it to the loop stop condition and the otuer loop stop condition.

I would strongy recommend to rewrite the entire things as a simple state machine, eliminating all inner loops.
