How to use DigitalIn??!

I'm trying to turn the green led on when myinputpin is high, and red led on when myinputpin is low. But for the green LED just stays on all of the time? Please can someone advise me what I'm doing wrong, my code is below:

  1. include "mbed.h"

DigitalOut RedLED(LED_RED);

DigitalOut GreenLED(LED_GREEN);

DigitalIn myInputPin(PTA13);

int main() {

while(1) {

if(myInputPin.read()==1) {

GreenLED =0;

RedLED =1;

}

if(myInputPin.read()==0){

GreenLED=1;

RedLED =0;

}}}

With code tags it is clearer (<<code>> and <</code>>), but I don't really see an error. How are you connecting PTA13?

Just connected it directly to the ground or 3.3V. I've now changed PTA13 to PTB0 (the analogue in) and now it works! Not sure why though...

maybe you had wired the wrong pin or it was bad connection..
