I am adapting a quiz program I had made before with 10 team buttons. Which worked fine, so I am sure the wiring is no issue here.

I am trying to setup button1 to be a “ready button” only after it is pressed and its light has lit up can the team buttons be pressed.

Currently the ready button presses and led lights up. Then I can press two of the team buttons which light up as well. And the program seems stuck in a loop I can’t do anything else. Any help is appreciated.

#include <ezButton.h>

const int teamCounter = 10;                                                          // Define the number of buttons and leds
const int ledPins[teamCounter] = { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 };                 // Array of button pins (modify based on actual pins)
const int buttonPins[teamCounter] = {10, 11, 12, 13, A0, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5};

//Ready LED Pin 0

ezButton button1(10,INPUT_PULLUP);
ezButton resetBtn(11,INPUT_PULLUP);
ezButton button3(12,INPUT_PULLUP);
ezButton button4(13,INPUT_PULLUP);
ezButton button5(A0,INPUT_PULLUP);
ezButton button6(A1,INPUT_PULLUP);
ezButton button7(A2,INPUT_PULLUP);
ezButton button8(A3,INPUT_PULLUP);
ezButton button9(A4,INPUT_PULLUP);
ezButton button10(A5,INPUT_PULLUP);

int ledLock = 1;
unsigned long previousMillis = 0;  
const long interval = 4000;           
unsigned long currentMillis = 0;

int debounceTime = 10;

  int ledLock = 1;
