State change detection (edge detection)
2024-05-05: modified to do a Bresenham PLL ratio of pulses between the input and output

Often, you don't need to know the state of a digital input all the time, but
you just need to know when the input changes from one state to another.
For example, you want to know when a button goes from OFF to ON. This is called
state change detection, or edge detection.
This example shows how to detect when a button or button changes from off to on
and on to off.
The circuit:
- pushbutton attached to pin 2 from +5V
- 10 kilohm resistor attached to pin 2 from ground
- LED attached from pin 13 to ground through 220 ohm resistor (or use the
built-in LED on most Arduino boards)
