so i have a button. doesn't matter, it's some ir remote through arduino to python.

the button when pressed, it outputs a string like "FF260"
the problem is that when it is held, it first outputs a string like that, then spams "FFFF"
how do i make it so after doing FF260, i detect if it keeps outputting FFFF to know it is being held?

What I have tried:

can't think of a solution, i tried nothing

At FF260 the button is 'pressed'.
In such a state wait (with an appropriate timeout) for FFFF then
  • if you receive it then the button is currently 'held' and your code should wait again
on the other hand
  • if the timeout expires then the button is 'released'
