Using two buttons to increase and decrease number

Projects Programming
3

PaulS:

const int buttonPin = 2;  // the number of the pushbutton pin

const int buttonPin2 = 3;



Do you count uh-huh, two, three? Or do you count 1, 2, 3? Number ALL the related variables.

int buttonState = 0;         // variable for reading the pushbutton status



Which of the two switches would that be?

pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT);
 pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT);



You are not using the internal pullup resistors, so you must have external resistors. How ARE the switches wired? Why are you not using the internal ones?

I connected the first button to pin 2, and the second one to pin 3...
buttonState should be the first one.
I do have 10k resistors connected to my buttons.
