below is the code I use in my switch, help me on this please , thank you!!!

const int buttonPin = 2;
const int ledPin = 13;

int buttonState = 0;

void setup() {

pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);

pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT);
}

void loop() {

buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin);

if (buttonState == HIGH) {

digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
} else {

digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
}
}

We need to know which exact LCD that you have. Have you connected the display? Have you tried any of the LCD library examples?

How is the switch wired?

What is the question? What does the sketch do for the moment?

Just checking that when you say "depress" you mean "release"?

"Depress" as a verb actually means the same as press, not "un-press":

push or pull (something) down into a lower position.
"depress the lever"
