Arduino "Internal pull up example" on Arduino simulator

 Summary

Arduino "Internal pullup" Program toggle the connected LED when the button is pressed. also, the status of the button is printed on the serial terminal. This example showcases to you how you can use an internal Arduino pull-up to hold the floating input pins to a known state. They are called weak pull-ups. when the button is not pressed, the digital pin will read a logic 1. When the button is pressed, the pull-up cannot influence any more and the voltage read at the digital pin is very close to zero. This will be read as logic 0 by the digital read function.

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

Tip✅: Always have a resistor connected in series with the LED to avoid burning the LED or damaging the GPIO pin.

You can do following things with the Arduino Simulator example

• Only print the button state when there is a change in the state
