done.
using the uno, I get a count of how many times the button is pressed. I read the pro mini doesnt have serial communication, so I uncommented that for the pro mini upload.
on the RGB LED, the long wire goes to VCC. the other 3 go to pins 10, 11, and 12. for the pushbutton, one goes to a 10k resistor, which is wired to GND, one is wired to VCC, and one is wired to pin 9.
I don't get why it works fine on the uno, but not the pro mini. Can't be due to a lack of power?
