Would there be a way to change and run programs using a set of tactile buttons? I have a number of different programs I'd like to run for machine tending purposes, but I want them to run only when certain buttons are pushed. Merging all the programs into one program and running one of the segments when a certain button is pushed doesn't seem possible. I'm thinking a conditional statement would make the most sense, but how do I do that in the AR software? Is there a better approach I am not considering? Thanks in advance.

I currently don't have anything setup to initiate programs being started from a button as the PC software initiates each command to the teensy and isn't monitoring the teensy response until a program is started. I might be able to set something up in the future for the AR4 software to monitor a function key on the keyboard or some other peripheral device using the inputs module. The way its currently setup to work is by using the tab function like this.
