Yes, I understand your point mate.However, this isn't rocket science, my button works once, it just doesn't switch back. How hard can this be for someone who knows code? I've managed to get this far, I've already swam the channel, I just need some help onto the beach.
Well that could be as simple as how you wired your switch up incorrectly (and a very common problem for beginners to electronics) and you may be suffering from the dreaded 'floating input pin' condition. Tell us exactly how you have your switch wired up?
I'm sure I've just got a command in the wrong order.
I appreciate your your advice but it's still all going on eBay and I'm never coming back to Arduino projects =(
I hope your Arduino finds a happy home.
