Controller Update

Well it turns out the initial wiring I did previously was completely wrong. Had a talk to Tiago on how to fix it. My main problem was that I had it all wired through only 1 resistor and so only one of the buttons would work, I think I also had it grounded a little wrong. Anyway with a bit of tinkering Tiago and I got it going, we also had to change a value in my code. Strangley one switch is set up the same as the others so that it is off and you need to turn it on for anything to happen but when the controller is operational, for some reason this switch thinks its turned on and so you have to turn it off for a result... its rather confusing but at least it now works. Time to seal up the controller so its all contained in the one unit, then I can move on with the last of my code and refining/finishing my animations.
