I have a basic idea how to assign pins, and have done a lot of the learning with the LEDs and such, but didn't know if what i am trying to accomplish is even possible or not. I wasn't sure if the arduino is capable of connecting two pins (1 input and 1 output) and just pass the connection along.
I've tried looking through the tutorials and learning sections, but I learn better from working backwards from something that works and figuring out why, than trying to figure out what I need to do to make it work. Its very counter intuitive with this type of thing lol.
