Objective

The first two lessons showed you how to use software to control the LED directly. If we add a button to control the LED light, then we can combine the use of both hardware and software. Previously, we used Microduino I/O port as the output to control the LED. So if want to use a button, how would we monitor the input signal of the button? In this lesson, we will use a button as an example to show how to use Microduino as the input.


Equipment

  • Microduino-Core
  • Microduino-FT232R
  • Other hardware equipment
    • 1x Box of breadboard jumper wires
    • 1x Breadboard
    • 1x LED (Light-Emitting Diode)
    • 1x 220ohm resistor
    • 1x Button
    • 1x USB Data cable

Using external pulldown method, when unpressed, it is "LOW". When pressed, it is high.

Program

  • LED display button value
const int buttonPin = 2;     // Define button input pin
const int ledPin =  11;     //Define LED pin
int buttonState = 0;        //Initialize the button value
void setup() {
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);    //Set the LED pin as output    
  pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT);  //Set button pin as input    
}
void loop(){
  buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin);//Read the value from the buttonPin
  if (buttonState == HIGH) {     
    digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); //If the button input signal is high, the LED will light up
  } 
  else {
    digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); //LED goes out
  }
}
  • LED voltage flip
const int buttonPin = 2;     // Define button input pin
const int ledPin =  11;     

int buttonState = 0; 
boolean led;         //Define LED as boolean(true or false)
void setup() {
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);      
  // pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT); //Set the button pin as input     
  pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT_PULLUP);//Set button pin as internal pull-up input    
}
void loop(){
  buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin);
  if (buttonState ==HIGH)
  {  
    delay(200);                   //Short time delay for stabilization
    // delay(1000);               //Long time press
    // if (buttonState == LOW)    //Check still is low
    led=!led;                     //LED state flip
  } 
  digitalWrite(ledPin, led);  
}

digitalRead()usage

Read a pin's value and return HIGH or LOW.

Result

  • Program 1:LED display input button value. High value will light the LED.
  • Program 2:Each time you press the button, LED voltage will flip.
