hiii there!!! = )
I'm new on this, and feeling useless lol
I'm following button example... ^^'
first of all, i do the circuit, and upload the example, and the built in LED and number 13, is on constantly, but when I press the button it brights more.... (the code is the same as button example...)
seems like it's entering the first condicion of "if (buttonState == HIGH){ (?!?!??!?!?)
example code:
// constants won't change. They're used here to set pin numbers:
const int buttonPin = 2; // the number of the pushbutton pin
const int ledPin = 13; // the number of the LED pin
// variables will change:
int buttonState = 0; // variable for reading the pushbutton status
void setup() {
// initialize the LED pin as an output:
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
// initialize the pushbutton pin as an input:
pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT);
}
void loop() {
// read the state of the pushbutton value:
buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin);
// check if the pushbutton is pressed. If it is, the buttonState is HIGH:
if (buttonState == HIGH) {
// turn LED on:
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
} else {
// turn LED off:
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
}
}
circuit picture :
then i've added a printing(button on /off) to see whats going on...to see when I press the button or not...
as soon as I put Serial.begin(9600); it starts blinking the TX and build-in led....
// constants won't change. They're used here to set pin numbers:
const int buttonPin = 2; // the number of the pushbutton pin
const int ledPin = 13; // the number of the LED pin
// variables will change:
int buttonState = 0;
int PbuttonState = 0;
// variable for reading the pushbutton status
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
// initialize the LED pin as an output:
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
// initialize the pushbutton pin as an input:
pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT);
}
void loop() {
// read the state of the pushbutton value:
buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin);
// check if the pushbutton is pressed. If it is, the buttonState is HIGH:
if( PbuttonState != buttonState ) {
if (buttonState == HIGH) {
// turn LED on:
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
Serial.println(" BUTTON ON ");
} else {
// turn LED off:
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
Serial.println(" BUTTON OFF ");
}
}
PbuttonState = buttonState;
}
i've checked everything,
-changed the button
-changed of arduino,
-changed cable
-added resistors to check maybe it could be ground issues... :(((
really don't know what else to do :(((((((( really bad start
thanks for your help and time....
