int switchState = 0;

void setup() {

pinMode(3,OUTPUT);
pinMode(4,OUTPUT);
pinMode(5,OUTPUT);
pinMode(2,INPUT);

}

void loop() {
switchState = digitalRead(2);

if (switchState = LOW){
digitalWrite(3,HIGH); //green
digitalWrite(4,LOW);
digitalWrite(5,LOW);

}
else{
digitalWrite(3,LOW);
digitalWrite(4,LOW);
digitalWrite(5,HIGH);

delay(250); // ms

digitalWrite(4,HIGH);
digitalWrite(5,LOW );

delay(250);

}
}

Can anyone tell me why my circuit doesn’t work? It just blinks the 2 red light.

I’m wondering if that switch of yours is mounted in the correct orientation.
So try what happens if you:
Either rotate that switch 90 degrees, or make a connection between breadboard pins h21 and h23.
Then see what it does.

Nope, nothing happens. It looks like my switch state is never zero.

#4

if (switchState = LOW) // make switchState low

if (switchState == LOW) // test if switchState is low

Leo..

thank you so much.. damn I made a silly mistake in the code.
