this is the current code i have. it sends the string to gobetwino when i press the button.but i get this error "The string recieved : 12345 is not a well formed command string" How would i fix that? also because i am using the delay at the end of the loop if i leave the toggle switch on it will send the string again after the delay. i am very sorry i am new to this im sure these are pretty easy questions for you guys. is there a good site i can go to to learn how to program better?
thanks
