Tutorial: How to use SS12D11 Slide Switch

The SS12D11 slide switch is ideal for controlling power in simple circuits. Useful for beginners and basic projects.

What you need

• SS12D11 Slide Switch
• Arduino
• Resistor (10kΩ)
• Connection wire

Steps

1. 1. Mount the slide switch on the breadboard or desired circuit.
2. 2. Connect pins 1 and 2 of the switch to two points of the circuit.
3. 3. Connect pin 3 (common) to GND.
4. 4. Connect a resistor between pin 3 and VCC.
5. 5. Connect a free digital pin of the Arduino to pin 3 of the switch.
6. 6. Load the source code.
7. 7. Check the datasheet for further details.
8. 8. Test the circuit.

Example code

```void setup() {} void loop() { if (digitalRead(3) == HIGH) { Serial.println("Posizione 1"); } else { Serial.println("Posizione 2"); } } ```

Mini project

Build a simple light fixture that turns on and off with a toggle switch.

Common mistakes

• Connect pin 3 only to GND or VCC.
• Forget to connect the resistor between pin 3 and VCC.
• Using digital pins that are not available.
• Omitting the loading of the source code.

Recommended accessories

• Arduino Uno
• Protoboard
• Connection cable
• 10kΩ resistor
