A "spaceship interface". Introduction to simple code and HIGH and LOW states.

Story

The "spaceship interface" is an introduction to digital input and output. This was the first project to use programming though it was simple in nature. I just followed the instructions in the book. This project shows how to use high and low inputs for voltage.

Code

Spaceship Interface Code

int switchState = 0; 
void setup(){  
  pinMode(3, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(4, OUTPUT); 

  pinMode(5, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(2, INPUT);
}

void loop() { 
  switchState=digitalRead(2); 
  if (switchState == LOW) { 

    digitalWrite(3, HIGH); 
    digitalWrite(4, LOW);
    digitalWrite(5, LOW);
  }
  else { 
    digitalWrite(3, LOW);
    digitalWrite(4, LOW); 
    digitalWrite(5, HIGH);
    delay(250); 
    digitalWrite(4, HIGH);
    digitalWrite(5, LOW);
    delay(250);
  }
}
