I am trying to use a Ardunio to control the power of a LCD TV (simple right?). To do this I cut the wire leading from the power button to the built in circuit board and put my Ardunio in-between. I connect the wire from the button to a analog port and read the signal I get from it. But the problem comes in that all I read is static! The board wont read the voltage coming from the button, I know that the button is sending a constant stream that is interrupted momentarily only when it is pushed down (which is how it is turned on and off).
What would you suggest I do to solve the analog read problem?
