Arduino Lab 3: Button Control

Purpose:
This lab will teach you how to control LED lights using buttons.

Equipment:
-2 push buttons
-1 330 ohm resistor
-2 10k ohm resistors
-1 LED
-1 wire (red)
-1 wire (black)
-4 wires (any colour)
-1 Arduino UNO
-1 breadboard
-1 USB cable

Program Details:
-Download Arduino here

Time to Program and Complete:
-Approximately 30 min

Results:
-There were some issues with spacing but after I fixed them it worked completely fine.

Photo/Video:
                       

Program:
const int buttonPin = 2;
const int ledPin = 9;

int buttonState = 0;

void setup()
{
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(buttonPin,INPUT);  
}

void loop()
{
  buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin);
  if (buttonState == HIGH)
  {
   digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
  }  
  else
  {
    digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
  }
}

Program Modifications:
-There were none; I followed all the instructions

Helpful Tips:
-Check spacing
-Check all the parts on the breadboard
