Backlit White LED Push Button 12V 12x12mm

Description

What it is

Backlit button with integrated white LED at 12V, ideal for Arduino and maker projects. This button, featuring an integrated white LED, lights up when pressed, providing a visual indication of its state.

Features

• LED Color: White
• Operating Voltage: 12V
• Dimensions: 12×12 mm

What it is for

This backlit button is perfect for projects requiring a switch with visual indication. You can use it to create simple light switches, turn LEDs on/off, or signal the state of a circuit. Compatibility with Arduino and ESP is ensured thanks to the standard operating voltage.

Tutorial: How to Use Backlit Button

This backlit button with integrated white LED at 12V is ideal for projects requiring a button with lighting functionality. Perfect for beginners and intermediate makers.

What you need

• Backlit Button
• Arduino
• Resistor
• Connection Cable

Steps

1. 1. Check the datasheet for the button specifications.
2. 2. Connect the button to the Arduino through the input pins.
3. 3. Connect the LED to the output pin of the Arduino.
4. 4. Connect the resistor between the LED and VCC (12V).
5. 5. Verify the correct polarity of the LED.
6. 6. Upload the following code to the Arduino.
7. 7. Test the functionality of the button and the lighting.
8. 8. Adapt the code to your project.

Example code

```void setup() {} void loop() { if (digitalRead(2) == HIGH) { digitalWrite(3, HIGH); } else { digitalWrite(3, LOW); } }```

Mini project

Create a simple light switch with this button. Connect the LED to the output of the button and turn the light on/off when you press the button.

Common mistakes

• Connect the LED directly to VCC without a resistor.
• Do not verify the polarity of the LED.
• Do not use the correct code for the button.
• Do not test the project before uploading it to the Arduino.

Recommended accessories

• Arduino
• Resistor
