// constants won't change. They're used here to set pin numbers: const int buttonPin = 7; // the number of the pushbutton pin const int ledPin = 2; // the number of the LED pin // variables will change: int buttonState = 0; // variable for reading the pushbutton status int lastButtonState = 0; void setup() { // initialize the LED pin as an output: pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // initialize the pushbutton pin as an input: pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT); } void loop() { // read the state of the pushbutton value: buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin); // check if the pushbutton is pressed. If it is, the buttonState is HIGH: if (buttonState != lastButtonState) { if (buttonState == HIGH){ digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); } else { digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); } } lastButtonState = buttonState; }
