Hi All,
I am using pushingbox code (posted below) to notify me when my doorbell has been pressed
I have the two wires from the door bell button going to the 5v pin and the other to 3rd input pin with a 10K resistor between GND and the 3rd pin.
This all works and the code sends the info to the pushing box servers.
but am having a problem with false triggers to the code i would assume its interference from another cable nearby
how would I go about adding the debounce library to this code Arduino Playground - HomePage
any help would be much appreciated
