Hello

When i upload the button code with de Arduino Ide  
Its working correct.  
But when i upload that with Xod IT works the other way around .  
Output is on when button unpressed and off when button is pressed.  
What is going wrong?  
The input is connected well.  
And i used the example from Xod.

Hello and welcome?

What button component do you use? Can you provide the exact patch you use and a photo/schematics of your circuit?

Hello i use this patch  
[https://xod.io/docs/tutorial/15-buttons/](https://xod.io/docs/tutorial/15-buttons/)  
And this wiring  
[https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Button](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Button)  
And dont worry i use a make button no break  
The wiring is correct because this i my work.

Greetings

The scheme you use pulls the button _down_ to ground and XOD expects a pull up to Vcc. That’s the difference leading to the inversion. Look carefully: what the signal will be when the button is released? It will go to ground through the resistor on your scheme:

And it goes to 5V in the scheme recommended in the tutorial:

Use the wiring scheme from the XOD tutorial or place a `xod/core/not` node below the `button` output.
