Controlling LED light using a limit switch

Projects Programming

I found the solution!

// This will store the last known state of the button
const int buttonPin = 6;   // change as per your button attached. 
   // 
const int ledPin = 4;
 int x = 1;
// variables will change:
int buttonState = 0;         
int oldButtonState = HIGH;


void setup() {
  // initialize the LED pin as an output:
   
  // initialize the pushbutton pin as an input:
  pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT_PULLUP);   
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);  
  digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
}




void loop()
{
  // Get the current state of the button
  int newButtonState = digitalRead(buttonPin);

  // Has the button gone high since we last read it?
  if (newButtonState == HIGH && oldButtonState == LOW) {

    if (x == 0) {
      // Toggle on
      digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
      x = 1;
      delay(500);

    } else {
      // Toggle off
      digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
      x = 0;
      delay(500);
    }
  }

  // Store the button's state so we can tell if it's changed next time round
  oldButtonState = newButtonState;
}

My main issue is that I did not store the new statement so it always change.
