Hello The Solution of your problem is easy. At the moment you have pull up resistors, that means one side is connected to +5V and the other to the port. if you dont push the button, there is 5V(HIGH) measured at the port. If you press the button, you push the port to ground, and there are 0V measured(LOW) Let's do the inverse: Dont do the other side of the pull up on 5V but on ground, so you have a "pull down" resistor. Inverse also the connections of the button: One side on the port , the other on ground and you willl have because of the pull down resistor default low and high when you press the button! Dave
