Pause or Getchar with push button

I'm new to programming and I'm trying to put a pause in my code before my while(1) loop in in my main(). The pause will be broken after the state of a push button is change. I'm not sure how this is achieved using the pause or getchar, I've seen it done with a key press but not sure how to achieve it with state change of a push button.

#define _XTAL_FREQ 16000000
#pragma config WDT = OFF

#include <xc.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
#include "lcd.h"

#define UI_Go PORTCbits.RC5 //Go button

void main(void) {
    lcd_init();

    lcd_cmd(L_L4);
    sprintf(Start, "'Go' to Start");  //Start while loop
    lcd_str(Start);
    __delay_ms(10);

while(1){    
       Refill();
    }
}
Solution

  • not having the hardware i cannot test but taking your comment as gold

    you need

      while(UI_Set==1);

    this will loop waiting for the button to be pressed

    or maybe

      while(UI_Set==0);

    not sure which way round the logic is
