Imagine each curcuit board has a button and an LED and the machine that controls several boards turns on the LED of a board if the button is pressed. Can I say the following to describe it in a sentence?
The machine lights the LED of the board that you press the button.
Please correct any mistakes and if possible, try to reuse the structure. Thanks in advance
