What you need

• Arduino Projects
• User Interface
• Manual Controls

Steps

1. Check the power supply voltage of the XB2 – BA31C button by consulting the datasheet.
2. Connect a ground (GND) cable to the longest pin of the button.
3. Connect a resistor between the power supply and the Arduino’s digital input.
4. Connect the other end of the resistor to the top of the button XB2 – BA31C.
5. Use an Arduino script to read the state of the button.
6. Check that the button changes state when pressed.
7. Modify the sketch to activate a specific function when the button is pressed.
8. Test the project by completing a simple circuit.

Example code

const int bottone = 2; // collegato a pin digitale 2
int statoBottone;
void setup() {
pinMode(bottone, INPUT);
}
void loop() {
statoBottone = digitalRead(bottone);
if (statoBottone == HIGH) {
Serial.println("Pulsante premuto!");
} else {
Serial.println("Pulsante non premuto.");
}
}

Mini project

Create a home alarm system that activates a siren or sends a message when the button XB2 – BA31C is pressed.

Common mistakes

• Connect the resistor directly to the digital pin without protection.
• Do not check the state of the button before writing the Arduino sketch.
• Use a power supply voltage different from that specified in the datasheet.
• Ignore the longer leg which serves as ground (GND).

Recommended accessories

• Variable resistors
• Arduino Uno R3
• RGB LED
• 5V Buzzer
