And if we could see that code we might be able to help you fix it.
#include <Bounce2.h>
/* This is a button program for the Sparkbooth
Software. When a button is pushed it will send
a key stroke to the PC via serial.write
and start the software. This is used in conjuction with ACC Key
http://www.aacinstitute.org/downloads/aackeys/AACKeys.html for
serial command input into the computer.
Code has been parse together from examaples from Shifter and Arduino.cc

This is giving the best results right now. How ever I am still getting two pushes of the button on my serial monitor.
