+	pressed down or released.  Only the transition between pressed and released
+	is captured.
+
+	The button should be wired such that when pressed, the "buttonPin" is
+	connected to ground.
+
+	The LED should be wired with the "ledPin" to the positive lead and the
+	negative lead should be connected to ground.  A current limiting resistor
+	should be used.
