- /*
- Read Switch and Display on LED
-
- Turns on and off a light emitting diode(LED) connected to digital
- pin 13, when pressing a pushbutton attached to pin 2.
-
-
- The circuit:
- * LED attached from pin 13 to ground
- * pushbutton attached to pin 2 from +5V
- * 10K resistor attached to pin 2 from ground
-
- * Note: on most Arduinos there is already an LED on the board
- attached to pin 13.
