Micropython Counter

[Justin_Dylan]

I am trying to increment counter by 1 whenever a button is pressed. to this end I have come up with this code:

import time
import machine
from machine import Pin

tip_num = 0
tip = (Pin('P10', mode=Pin.IN, pull=Pin.PULL_UP))
tip([1])

while tip !="":
tip_num += 1
tip_value = (tip)
total += tip_value
tip = (Pin('P10', mode=Pin.IN, pull=Pin.PULL_UP))

print("Counter", tip_num)
print("Done")

I have clearly missed something but I have no idea what it is?
Any help would be GREATLY welcomed.

Python code without proper indentation is not very useful. You should try to put it inside a code block like this:

import time
import machine
from machine import Pin

tip_num = 0
tip = (Pin('P10', mode=Pin.IN, pull=Pin.PULL_UP))
tip([1])

while tip !="":
  tip_num += 1
  tip_value = (tip)
  total += tip_value
  tip = (Pin('P10', mode=Pin.IN, pull=Pin.PULL_UP))

print("Counter", tip_num)
print("Done")

Apart from that there are a lot of mistakes (e.g. tip([1])) and redundancies (e.g. wrapping everything in parenthesis) in your code. You should probably read the the MicroPython and Pin documentation first.
