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);
  }
}
