Finite State Machine - Part Two
► PCBWay $5 for 10 pieces https://www.pcbway.com
This is PART TWO of the Bacon Bytes series on a step-by-step guide on how we can move to a State Machine on the Arduino (or, indeed, any other microcontroller).
► Sketch and more in my GitHub for this video:

To get the most of of this video ensure you have watched PART ONE first which covers the whole multitasking element of a useful State Machine that doesn't include any blocking code (such as use of the delay() 😲 statement).

We briefly (ever so briefly) touch on theory😲but really concentrate on converting a State Diagram into actual Arduino-speak C++ code. It's far easier than you might think.
Moreover, it ensures your code reflects the State Diagram you draw, thus ensuring excellent robustness in your code.
You know about "enum"s? What about "class enum"s? We cover that too, and why it makes for better, more robust code.
If you really want some in-depth theory, Wikipedia has it covered:

Perhaps in a future video we might even talk about Hierarchical State machines 😲
