?EMF?

Post by Wildfire »

I'm using the sixth tutorial on ladyada's site, but when i get to the state changing parts something really weird happens...
whenever i have a wire in a port set as input and my body get's anywhere near it it sets it off,
any advice?

Are you using a pullup or pulldown resistor as described in lesson 5? http://www.ladyada.net/learn/arduino/lesson5.html
