After completing the example code for Taffic Lights Controler (chapt 5) the book states on page 66, "Let the traffic lights loop through their cycle a few more times, then press the button again to trigger another crossing." Once I press the button, when the buzzer sounds I get an errorAfter this the button isn't recognised again until I restart Thonny and unplug and replug in the pico.
Here's the code I have loaded onto the Pico. Is there any error in this code? I've checked it against the example code over and over and I don't see anything out of place. Thanks for your help in advance.
