Adding Your Own Button

Now that you know how to work with pushbuttons, you no longer have to abuse the Arduino’s reset button to control the die. You can add your own pushbutton instead. As Figure 12, Our binary die with its own start button, we need to change our current circuit only slightly. Actually, we don’t have to change the existing parts at all; we only need to add some things. First, we plug a button into the breadboard and connect it to pin 7. Then we connect the button to the ground via a 10k resistor and use a small piece of wire to connect it to the 5-volt pin.
