HELP! Mulitple errors, not sure why

[pmasuengst]

I am brand new to Arduino. Normally I'm one to wrestle with something like this until I get it on my own, but I'm up against a deadline on this and frankly I'm in over my head. Jokes at my expense are expected, I just need to get this ironed out ASAP.

My entire code is below, followed by the errors I am getting. I actually had this working, tried to add a feature, like an idiot didn't save a copy first, now I can't even clear the errors when I remove everything I thought I added.

Thanks in advance.

missing a semicolon after

@pmasuengst

int old_Status

and indent the code (done by pressing ctrlT on a PC or cmdT on a Mac), you'll likely see mismatched braces

[MicroBahner]

And you should switch on warnings in the IDE. There are some statements that most likely will not do what you want them to do - even if they are syntactically correct ( no error ). But the compiler throws a warning - he knows about such semantically errors .

Dude! That was it! I knew it was going to be something stupid, you just look at something for so long, you start going cross eyed. Thank you!

[J-M-L]

we have all been there at least once (and then we learnt that when the compiler's error message seems cryptic, then it's important to look above the line with the issue)
