Tutorial: How to use 4 Pieces Waterproof Latching Switch 213BS

This waterproof latching switch is ideal for projects requiring physical control, such as doors or windows. Useful for beginners and intermediates.

What you need

• 4 pieces switch 213BS
• Arduino
• Power supply cable
• 10kΩ resistor
• Batter or power supply

Steps

1. 1. Prepare the switch 213BS, Arduino, power supply cable, 10kΩ resistor, and battery.
2. 2. Connect the battery to the Arduino via the power supply cable.
3. 3. Connect an Arduino pin (e.g., D2) to pin 3 of the switch 213BS.
4. 4. Connect the 10kΩ resistor between pin 2 of the switch 213BS and GND.
5. 5. Connect pin 1 of the switch 213BS to VCC.
6. 6. Load the Arduino code.
7. 7. Verify the power supply specifications on the datasheet.
8. 8. Check the operation of the switch.

Example code

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

void loop() {
  if (digitalRead(2) == HIGH) {
    Serial.println("Interruttore acceso");
  } else {
    Serial.println("Interruttore spento");
  }
}

Mini project

Create a control system for a door or window using the switch 213BS as a sensor.

Common mistakes
