/*Using a Single Button, create mutliple options based on how long the button is pressed
The circuit:
* LED attached from pin 13 to ground through a 220 ohm resistor
* LED attached from pin 12 to ground through a 220 ohm resistor
* one side of momentary pushbutton attached to pin 2
* other side of momentary pushbutton attached to Ground
* Note 1: on most Arduinos there is already an LED on the board
attached to pin 13.
* Note 2: In this circuit, when the button is pressed, Ground Voltage is what will be applied.
