Introduction

Pushbutton Switches


Components Needed

  • Freeduino or Arduino or clone
  • USB cable for Freeduino
  • Freeduino development software - download here!
  • Solderless Breadboard
  • Hookup wire 22gauge solid
  • Pushbutton Switch
  • Soldering Iron and Solder to solder wires to switch
  • 1 kOhm resistor (Brown-Black-Red)

How to

  1. For our workshop, you will have to solder some hookup wire to one of your pushbutton switches. Just strip back a half an inch of wire or so, stick it through the hole on the switch lead and solder. You will have help. It is easy.
  2. Follow the fritzing diagram and hook up the circuit.
  3. Cut and paste your code and run!
