MTS-203 Lever Switch 6 Pin 3 Positions – 2 Pieces

Description

What it is

The MTS-203 Lever Switch 6 Pin 3 Positions is an electronic component that allows you to select among three different options. It consists of a lever that can take three distinct positions, each corresponding to a different circuit.

Features

• 6 pin
• 3 positions
• SKU: ARD0011419
• Price: 1.72 €
• Sold in packs of 2

What it is for

The MTS-203 lever switch is ideal for Arduino projects and other electronic devices that require selection among different options. You can use it to control LEDs, motors, sensors, or other components based on the lever’s position. Example: an LED display that changes configuration based on the switch position.

Example code

void setup() {
  pinMode(2, INPUT);
  pinMode(3, INPUT);
  pinMode(4, INPUT);
}

void loop() {
  if(digitalRead(2) == HIGH) {
    Serial.println("Posizione 1");
  }
  if(digitalRead(3) == HIGH) {
    Serial.println("Posizione 2");
  }
  if(digitalRead(4) == HIGH) {
    Serial.println("Posizione 3");
  }
}

Mini project

Create an LED display that changes configuration based on the position of the switch. Try connecting an LED to each position of the switch.

Common mistakes

• Connect the switch to the circuit without testing it first.
• Use resistors that are too low or too high for the LEDs.
• Do not verify the correct connection between the switch and the Arduino.
• Do not update the Arduino sketch to adapt it to the project requirements.

Recommended accessories
