Ok on lesson #5 on this page Arduino Tutorial - Lesson 5

Near the bottom at the Design challenge part 1, of the blinky light fun co. The schematic shows 2 resistors hooked to the tactile button a 10k and a 100 ohm but the picture of the setup shows only the 10k resistor, also only the 10k in the video. So WTF! I'm having a problem getting it to work with or without the 100 ohm resistor!

Man I'm done for the night!, I'm too frustrated!

The 10K is the puul up to 5V, and the 100R is just to protect the Arduino pinn from to much current. It should work without the 100R resistor.

So after a well deserved good nights sleep, doublecheck all your wiring and don't give up.
