  State change detection (edge detection)

  Often, you don't need to know the state of a digital input all the time, but
  you just need to know when the input changes from one state to another.
  For example, you want to know when a button goes from OFF to ON. This is called
  state change detection, or edge detection.

  This example shows how to detect when a button or button changes from off to on
  and on to off.

  The above was modified to allow the button to turn on with a push and off with a push,
  while still monitoring the analogRead at A0. Since the loop is looking for both the sensor Value
  and the buttonState, you should long press the button anytime you want to change the button
  state. Short presses of the button can be missed and not counted.

// this constant won't change:
const int  buttonPin = 8;    // the pin that the pushbutton is attached to
const int ledPin = 2;       // the pin that the LED is attached to

// Variables will change:
int buttonPushCounter = 0;   // counter for the number of button presses
int buttonState = 0;         // current state of the button
int lastButtonState = 0;     // previous state of the button
int sensorPin = A0;
int sensorValue = 0;

void setup() {
  pinMode(sensorPin, INPUT); 
  // initialize the button pin as a input:
  pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT);
  // initialize the LED as an output:
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
  // initialize serial communication:
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  sensorValue = analogRead(sensorPin);
   Serial.println(sensorValue);
   delay(1000);
   
   // read the pushbutton input pin:
    buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin);
  // compare the buttonState to its previous state
  if (buttonState != lastButtonState) {
    // if the state has changed, increment the counter
    if (buttonState == HIGH) {
      // if the current state is HIGH then the button went from off to on:
      buttonPushCounter++;
          } else {
      // if the current state is LOW then the button went from on to off:
      ;
    }
    // Delay a little bit to avoid bouncing
    delay(50);
  }
  // save the current state as the last state, for next time through the loop
  lastButtonState = buttonState;

  // turns on the LED every two button pushes by checking the modulo of the
  // button push counter. the modulo function gives you the remainder of the
  // division of two numbers. So if the counter is divisible by 2, the remainder is 
  // zero and the LED is turned on. Else it is turned off. 
  if (buttonPushCounter % 2 == 0) {
    digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
  } else {
    digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
  }
