Hello,
I have been working with sparkfuns 2x2 led matrix button board recently and I've gotten the lights to light up on their own, but as for the buttons, no dice. I'm sure its my code, could somebody take a peek?

I know that my problem lies in the fact that I've never really worked with buttons that have only 2 connections. I've only ever worked with the pushbuttons that have 4 pins. Can somebody help me out on getting this thing working?
