Tilt Switch Activated LED's

Good Afternoon Here is my very first Arduino Code that i wrote, just completed it now.Fritzing: http://fritzing.org/projects/tilt-sw...d-leds-arduino
Tilt Switch or Button Activated LED's

Turns on and off a light emitting diode(LED) connected to digital pin 13 and 12, when activating the Tilt Switch or a pushbutton attached to pin 2. When the tilt switch gives the Arduino the Off Signal, LED12 Will Switch off and LED13 will turn on.

---How To Connect your switch to Digital pin 2

LED1 to Digital Pin13 and LED2 to Digital Pin12

Connect the switch Via a 100K Resistor to the 5V Pin on the Arduino

Connect Led ground to any ground on the Arduino board

The circuit: * LED attached from pin 13 to ground * LED attached from pin 12 to ground * pushbutton attached to pin 2 from +5V * 10K resistor attached to pin 2 (switch/button) from ground

Note: on most Arduinos there is already an LED on the board attached to pin 13.
