Example code
/* Sketch semplice per testare l'interruttore KCD3-11-Y */
int led = 13;
int interruptor = 2;
void setup() {
pinMode(led, OUTPUT);
pinMode(interruptor, INPUT);
}
void loop() {
if (digitalRead(interruptor) == HIGH) {
digitalWrite(led, HIGH);
} else {
digitalWrite(led, LOW);
}
}
Mini project
