Tutorial: How to Use 6x6x5mm U-shaped Tactile Button Kit

Tactile buttons are essential components for creating simple and intuitive user interfaces. These U-shaped tactile buttons are ideal for Arduino and low-profile electronics projects, suitable for both beginners and experienced makers.

What you need

• Arduino Uno or compatible
• Connection wire
• Prototype board (optional)
• Battery or stable power supply

Steps

1. Connect one end of the tactile button to a digital pin on the Arduino.
2. Connect the other end of the tactile button to the GND of the Arduino.
3. Check the connection with a multimeter or indicator LED.
4. Write an Arduino sketch to read the state of the button.
5. Compile and upload the code to the Arduino.
6. Test the button by pressing it and verifying the Arduino’s response.
7. If necessary, adjust the connections or the code.
8. Document the project for future reference or improvements.

Example code

const int pulsanteTattile = 2; // collega il pulsante alla porta 2
digitalWrite(pulsanteTattile, HIGH); // imposta la porta come input

void loop() {
  int statoPulsante = digitalRead(pulsanteTattile); // leggi lo stato del pulsante
  if (statoPulsante == LOW) {
    Serial.println("Pulsante premuto");
  }
}

Mini project

Create a glowing clock with Arduino: connect the tactile button to turn on and off a series of LEDs.

Common mistakes

• Connect the button to the GND and 5V instead of a digital pin.
• Do not properly check the connections before uploading the code.
• Do not fix the code when the button does not respond correctly.
• Do not document the project for future improvements.

Recommended accessories

• Indicator LED
• Prototyping board
• Multimeter
• 9V battery
