Arduino Project 1: Button State Detection

Introduction

A button is an electronic component that connects two points in a circuit when pressed. In this project, we will use a button connected to an Arduino UNO to read its state as input and display it on the Serial Monitor.

Objectives

1. To test the signal as an input.
2. To determine the state of a button, whether pressed (0 or ground) or not pressed (1 or 5V).

Materials Needed

• Breadboard
• Wires
• Button (1 piece)
• 10K Resistor
• Arduino UNO

Picture

Methodology

1. Place the components on the breadboard.
2. Follow the circuit diagram as shown above.

Summary

In this activity, we created a project that indicates whether the button is pressed or not. The Serial Monitor displays the current state of the button, showing if it is being pressed or released.

Notes

1. Ensure that the wires are properly connected to guarantee that the program functions correctly.

Conclusion

The state of a button can be determined by displaying information on the Serial Monitor. This simple interaction helps in understanding how input signals work with the Arduino UNO.
