I noticed an error in the drawing on the cover of the book, and on page 19 of the book.
The analog in header should have 6 holes, but is depicted with only 5.

Example 03C

The de-bouncing code added to Example 03C was not enough on my test. I needed following additional if block for de-bounding completely.


if ((val == LOW) && (old_val == HIGH)) {
delay(10);
}

Note from the Author or Editor:
Please add a note to the text:

One reader, Tami (Masaaki) Takamiya, wrote in with some extra code that may give you better debouncing:

if ((val == LOW) && (old_val == HIGH)) {
delay(10);
}

Fig. 4-6 is actually the graphic for fig. 5-4 with the label for fig. 4.6. So the graphic for fig. 5.4 is in the book twice, once with the label for fig. 4.6 and once with the label for fig. 5.4, and the proper graphic for fig. 4.6 is not in the book at all.
