The Button Module Red is straightforward to use in electronic circuits. Follow the steps below to integrate it into your project:
VCC
pin to a 3.3V or 5V power source and the GND
pin to the ground of your circuit.OUT
pin to a digital input pin on your microcontroller or other logic circuit. When the button is pressed, the OUT
pin will output a HIGH signal; otherwise, it will remain LOW.Below is an example of how to connect and use the Button Module Red with an Arduino UNO:
VCC
pin of the button module to the 5V pin on the Arduino.GND
pin of the button module to the GND pin on the Arduino.OUT
pin of the button module to digital pin 2 on the Arduino.// Example code for using the Button Module Red with Arduino UNO
// This code reads the button state and turns on an LED when the button is pressed.
const int buttonPin = 2; // Pin connected to the OUT pin of the button module
const int ledPin = 13; // Pin connected to the built-in LED on the Arduino
void setup() {
pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT); // Set the button pin as input
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // Set the LED pin as output
Serial.begin(9600); // Initialize serial communication for debugging
}
void loop() {
int buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin); // Read the button state
if (buttonState == HIGH) {
// If the button is pressed, turn on the LED
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
Serial.println("Button Pressed!"); // Print message to serial monitor
} else {
// If the button is not pressed, turn off the LED
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
}
delay(10); // Small delay to debounce the button
}
OUT
pin if the module does not have an internal pull-down resistor. This ensures the output remains LOW when the button is not pressed.The button does not respond when pressed.
VCC
and GND
pins are correctly connected to the power supply.OUT
pin is properly connected to the microcontroller or circuit input.The output signal is unstable or fluctuates.
OUT
pin if not already present.The button works intermittently.
Q: Can I use the Button Module Red with a 3.3V microcontroller?
A: Yes, the module is compatible with both 3.3V and 5V systems.
Q: Does the module include an internal pull-down resistor?
A: Some versions of the module may include an internal pull-down resistor. If the output signal is unstable, add an external 10kΩ pull-down resistor.
Q: Can I use this module to control high-power devices?
A: No, the Button Module Red is designed for low-power signal control. Use a relay or transistor circuit to control high-power devices.
