The program now does what i want it to, but because its in a loop it keeps printing out to the serial over and over.
Its pretty much there, just needs some optimization.
Paul i hope you can see what ive done with "assigning a ticket" so to speak. I probably didnt explain what i meant that well.
I'm now working on how i can write it so that the button code is universal for all buttons but just subs in the values that are relevant. Otherwise once ive loaded the full 6 buttons it'll look pretty clumsy! plus ill learn more in the process.
