Simple finite state machine schematic

Using Arduino Programming Questions
#1

I was not quite sure where to post this question, but I have been looking at finite state machines, and came across Alexander Brevig’s library and code example at - http://playground.arduino.cc/Code/FiniteStateMachine#Description

I am wanting to construct the simple LED circuit example with the four states, and have installed the relevant libraries etc. I am having trouble trying to work out the circuit that can utilise this code, and am wondering if anyone might be kind enough to show me or direct me to a circuit schematic or even a simple verbal description would suffice.
I have attached the code. Thanks for reading, Pedro.

//http://www.arduino.cc/playground/uploads/Code/FSM.zip
#include <FiniteStateMachine.h>
//http://www.arduino.cc/playground/uploads/Code/Button.zip
#include <Button.h>
//http://www.arduino.cc/playground/uploads/Code/LED.zip
#include <LED.h>

const byte NUMBER_OF_STATES = 4; //how many states are we cycling through?

//initialize states
State On = State(ledOn);
State Off = State(ledOff); 
State FadeIn = State(ledFadeIn);
State FadeOut = State(ledFadeOut); 

FSM ledStateMachine = FSM(On);     //initialize state machine, start in state: On

Button button = Button(12,PULLUP); //initialize the button (wire between pin 12 and ground)
LED led = LED(11);                 //initialize the LED
byte buttonPresses = 0;            //counter variable, hols number of button presses

void setup(){ /*nothing to setup*/ }

//poor example, but then again; it's just an example
void loop(){
  if (button.uniquePress()){
    //increment buttonPresses and constrain it to [ 0, 1, 2, 3 ]
    buttonPresses = ++buttonPresses % NUMBER_OF_STATES; 
    switch (buttonPresses){
      case 0: ledStateMachine.transitionTo(On); break;
      case 1: ledStateMachine.transitionTo(Off); break;
      case 2: ledStateMachine.transitionTo(FadeIn); break;
      case 3: ledStateMachine.transitionTo(FadeOut); break;
    }
  }
  ledStateMachine.update();
}

//utility functions
void ledOn(){ led.on(); }
void ledOff(){ led.off(); }
void ledFadeIn(){ led.fadeIn(500); }
void ledFadeOut(){ led.fadeOut(500); }
//end utility functions
#2

Button button = Button(12,PULLUP); //initialize the button (wire between pin 12 and ground)

Pin 12 → pushbutton → GND

LED led = LED(11); //initialize the LED

Pin 11 → LED → resistor → GND

Thanks for that Coding Badly. I deduced some of it but have not encountered internal pullup before
That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it XD Pedro.

Hi, I am wanting to use this in a project, but when I just tried to Verify the code, it throws these errors;

Hoping that some one can baby step me. I am new to this and it would help me alot.

Have you searched for any of the 42 bazillion other posts with thins message in them? What was so difficult about changing WProgram.h to Arduino.h?

plotto – Being relatively new to Arduino myself I have also been caught out with this before. Older versions of the IDE prior to version 1.0 used a WProgram.h header file as a part of the library whereas versions after version 1.0 now use Arduino.h
