Oxygen text added to each render.cpp file for the default projects. Text includes project explanation from Wiki, edited in places.

Empty project added as a default project.

Doxyfile updated. Each of the project locations added to INPUT configuration option. Consider just watching the whole project file so all new projects are automatically pulled through.

+\example 2_digital_button
+
+Switching an LED on and off
+---------------------------
+
+This sketch brings together digital out with digital in. The program will read 
+a button and turn the LED on and off according to the state of the button.
+
+- connect an LED in series with a 470ohm resistor between P8_07 and ground.
+- connect a 1k resistor to P9_03 (+3.3V),
+- connect the other end of the resistor to both a button and P8_08
+- connect the other end of the button to ground.
+
+You will notice that the LED will normally stay on and will turn off as long as 
+the button is pressed. This is due to the fact that the LED is set to the same 
+value read at input P8_08. When the button is not pressed, P8_08 is `HIGH` and so 
+P8_07 is set to `HIGH` as well, so that the LED conducts and emits light. When 
+the button is pressed, P8_08 goes `LOW` and P8_07 is set to `LOW`, turning off the LED.
+
+As an exercise try and change the code so that the LED only turns on when 
+the button is pressed
