/*
Connect one end of the wire to the GND and one end on Arduino Digital PIN 3.
Touch the contact switches and the LED (Arduino PIN 13) on the Arduino board will turn ON
and OFF when the contacts are not in contact
*/

// digital pin 3 is where the contact switch attached to read.
int contactPin = 3;

void setup() {
// make the contact switch (contactPin) pin an input.
pinMode(contactPin, INPUT);
pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
if (contactPin == LOW) {
digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
}
else {
digitalWrite(13, LOW);
}
