Very Basic Arduino Exercise

Hey guys, I'm going to be taking a course involving Arduino and Processing in the Summer.

I want to get a head start so that I don't feel crunched for time.

What I have now is one touch sensor that can light up an LED. I figured that out in about 2 minutes.

What I need to figure out (maybe it's my lack of sleep?) is how to have two touch sensors that I can use independently, to control the same LED.

Eventually, I want to use two sensors to control an entire block of LEDs, perhaps making an LED sign with light switches in two areas of the room or something.

Would you be able to explain the simplest set-up? :slight_smile:

Right now I have a few LEDs laying around, with 1 arduino board, and some code which I googled.

Thanks all!

Could you show us the code and schematic for the touch sensors? That would definitely help.

(And yes, I find sleep can help too ;D!)

Yes and explain "how to have two touch sensors that I can use independently, to control the same LED" a bit more, please - do you mean either one can turn it on off?
