I can make LEDs blink at different frequencies but only 1 frequency...
So far i managed to get the LED config going with CubeMX.
I want to make this by using External Interrupts.
But how can i make the same LED change frequency by pushing a button on my STM32F407VG?
I managed to make other LEDs light with interrupts, but the same? oh no :(
I would appreciate your help a lot ty:)

Homework?
> I want to make this by using External Interrupts.
EXTI is not suitable for pushbuttons. They produce many edges at push/release due to mechanical bouncing of contacts.
For homework, what's wrong with
while(1) {
LedToggle();
if (ButtonInput() == 0) {
Delay(LONG);
} else {
Delay(SHORT);
}
}
?

Ye homework...
Thanks for the quick answer
Hm i guess that works.
But we are supposed to practice external inputs x(

You mean, external interrupts.
Yes, a typical school assignment. It's the wrong task, as I've said above. And, actually, should you genuinely need to handle a noisy signal in EXTI, it's actually quite hard to do correctly.
What you are expected to do is:
This will work, somehow.
Write the simple version I outlined above, without EXTI, first, and get it running.
Then try to write the interrupt version and debug it until it works somehow. If in trouble, try harder; if in serious trouble, ask.
If you want to go further and understand the problem which is in this approach, draw yourself waveform of a bouncing button http://www.ganssle.com/debouncing.htm then imagine that several of the edges occur in a rapid succession in between consecutive steps taken within the ISR, or in between invocations of the ISR.

Really nice explanation!
Thank you so much...
Why cant you be my Prof. at University LOL.
He just says: find out yourself hihihi
what a *******...
Works now thanks...

Good information on basics:

Parts 5 and 6 are about interrupts.

Oh thanks. This might be helpful in the future ;)
