Im a student and doing my dt gcse this year, my project requires some user input - a punching bag that has 2 buttons every 90° (except around back) of which the LED lights flash on (one at one time) until you hit the button, basically a batak reaction test (https://shorturl.at/L78bt) but without a counter - although i understand my basic plan and some components, ive never ever operated with microelectronics before and have some questions.
I would presume you want each button's LED to operate independent of the button-press. So (at a minimum), that would be an Arduino OUTPUT (for each LED) and an Arduino INPUT (to detect each button press).
As far as your schematic, I'm not able to clearly follow.
Yea my image is misleading, thanks for pointing it out. Instead I intend it to show 2 buttons per face (from that perspective) instead of the 1 per face thats there.
Just start with building a sketch to blink an independent LED. Then incorporate a button that you can detect it when it’s pressed. master those two activities first. Then you can start playing with a button that has a built in LED
