Description

Tutorial: How to Use ON/OFF Button

This ON/OFF button is ideal for controlling the power of electronic devices. Useful for beginners and intermediates.

What you need

• 2 pieces SPST ON/OFF Button
• Power Cable
• Arduino or electronic device
• Multimeter (optional)

Steps

1. 1. Check that the button has 2 pins.
2. 2. Connect one pin of the button to GND.
3. 3. Connect the second pin of the button to a digital pin of your Arduino.
4. 4. Configure the button pin as input in Sketch.
5. 5. Add code to control the state of the button.
6. 6. Test the button with an LED to verify functionality.
7. 7. Add code to control the state of the LED based on the button.
8. 8. Check the datasheet for maximum current and voltage values.

Example code

```void setup() {  pinMode(2, INPUT);}void loop() {  if (digitalRead(2) == HIGH) {    digitalWrite(13, HIGH);  } else {    digitalWrite(13, LOW);  }}```

Mini project

Create a simple startup and shutdown screen for an LED using a button.

Common mistakes

• Connect the button to VCC instead of GND.
• Forget to configure the button pin as input.
• Use an analog pin instead of a digital pin.
• Don’t test the button before connecting it to the LED.

Recommended accessories

• LED
• Resistor
• Multimeter
