ok I am pretty sure thats the right part number,...it's a little metal box with three leads..I am getting data from the circuit this I know..I am just not sure if I am getting all the data. Tha program I am running is just to test and has no timer aspect..if the pin goes high it prints a 1 if low the 0 and still the data doesn't look similar if the same button is pressed. I want to be able to run this data through a decision structure so the uP knows which button is being pressed..I have wanted to do it for a while..it's a bigger job than I thought...

Thank you for your help
