Even though this is not my picture, it shows the push button that I wired to the Arduino board. It was wired and programmed so that the LED would light up when the button was pressed, if the button was not pressed the LED would turn off.
Because I have previous experience in programming (Java) and this language was based off of Java, it was very easy to work with this language. Along with that and pretty good understanding of bread boarding (which was learned from past years in this course) this project was not very difficult.
Even though I say this was no very difficult that doesn't mean I did not encounter any problems. It took some playing around with to figure out how to wire the push button correctly and get it working with the code. Although after that was accomplished it wasn't really any more than an if statement to check if the button is pressed or not, then do the proper procedure depending on that.
