I want my arduino to serial print in to the computer "hello" or something of the sort every time a button is pressed but only want it to do it once not 10 times for one button press like im currently getting, any idea how to go about it?
You need to detect when the signal edge on the button changes. To do that, keep track of what the last reading of the button was and compare it to the current. If it's different, a transition occurred.
