/* Debounce a push button
This sketch will demonstrate debouncing a pushbutton with software.
Every time the button is pressed the LED will toggle
The circuit:
LED attached from pin 13 to ground
pushbutton attached from pin 2 to +5V
10K resistor attached from pin 2 to ground
Note: On most Arduino boards, there is already an LED on the board
connected to pin 13, so you don't need any extra components for this example.
