Arduino Simulator examples - "Push button input" 🔘

Arduino "Push button example" on Arduino simulator

 Summary

Arduino "Push button example" Program lit the connected LED as long as the push button is activated. Push buttons are also called momentary buttons. You can see that, the push button is connected to pin number 2 of the Arduino Mega. The functions used to read the push button should be very familiar as well. 

As long as you hold the push button pressed, the LED will be ON. Once you release the button, the LED will be off. In order to avoid the spurious behavior due to debounce, the bounce feature is disabled in the simulation. In real world, you will be problem with bounce and you should address it as well using You can click on Run button in the simulator below to see the Arduino simulator in action. 

Wokwi Arduino simulator is used here as it is free and easy to use online. 

Tip✅: The document here has good information of bouncing and debouncing of the mechanical switches.

You can do following things with the Arduino Simulator example

• Can you introduce noise (enable bounce in the simulation as well)? reference
• How will you address the bounce in software?
