adding a button to the blink tutorial

Projects Programming

im bad at this, to simplify it further for me i removed trying to blink the led for now, using your code i tried to just turn the led on pin 13 on and off, after uploading the code the led is off, i press the button and the led turns on, when i press the button again it doesnt turn off.

here is what i have done with your code

const int buttonPin = 2;     // the number of the pushbutton pin
const int ledPin =  13;      // the number of the LED pin
 

int currState;
int prevState = LOW;
bool blinking = false;
 
void setup() {
   
   pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);       // initialize the LED pin as an output
   pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT);     // initialize the pushbutton pin as an input
}
 
void loop(){
   currState = digitalRead(buttonPin); //check the current state of the button pin
   if (currState != prevState){        //the button has been pressed
   if(currState == HIGH){               //not sure what this is doing
   blinking = !blinking;                  //not sure what this is doing
   }
  }
   prevState = currState;               //not sure what this is doing
  
   if (blinking){
   digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
  }
 }

cheers, Ash.
