I need help with this code, it compiles but it doesn't work on my circuit, i have ,made sure everything is okay.
Help me please (here's the code)
const int buttonPin1 = 12;
const int buttonPin = 11;
int buttonstate = 0;
int buttonstate1 = 0;
int potPin = 1; // select the input pin for the potentiometer
const int ledPin = 2;
const int ledPin1 = 8;
const int ledPin2 = 6;
const int ledPin3 = 5;// select the pin for the LED
int val = 0;
void setup()
{
pinMode(buttonPin,INPUT);
pinMode(buttonPin1,INPUT);
pinMode(ledPin,OUTPUT); // declare the ledPin as an OUTPUT
pinMode(ledPin1,OUTPUT);
pinMode(ledPin2,OUTPUT);
pinMode(ledPin3,OUTPUT);
}
void One()
{
buttonstate = digitalRead(buttonPin1);
if (buttonstate1 == HIGH)
{
Two;
}
}
void Two ()
{
val = analogRead(potPin); // read the value from the sensor
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
digitalWrite(ledPin1, LOW);
digitalWrite(ledPin2, HIGH);
digitalWrite(ledPin3, LOW);// turn the ledPin on
delay(val); // stop the program for some time
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
digitalWrite(ledPin1, HIGH);
digitalWrite(ledPin2, LOW);
digitalWrite(ledPin3, HIGH); // turn the ledPin off
delay(val);
You will refer to these again and again getting started.

You will want to bookmark a good web tutorial or two as well, search C++ tutorial on Google and pick one(s) that you find readable.
Before the net, we had to buy or borrow books. I still have a few. If you have a good used or surplus/wholesale book store anywhere near by it can be worth checking out from time to time. You can generally find them near colleges and universities but with the net, browser tabs and Save Page As there is very little need.
