Need help with Project 01 from Starter Kit

Hi,

I am brand new to Arduino and using the starter kit book to work on project 01. Everything was going fine until I had to program the LED in parallel and when doing so, only 1 button turns on the LED (the top button in the picture) while the 2nd button does not. I can't figure out what is wrong, any help would appreciated.

It looks fine...
Probably a loose contact. What happens if you bridge the button with a wire?
Button may need a push to slide into the board and make contact...

Rotate the mounting of the button by 1/4 of a turn.
Use a multimeter verifying things.

Can't!

"Tact" buttons don't work that way.

Important advice: Purchase a $5 (or more) multimeter prior to or at the same time as purchase of an Arduino kit. :+1:
