Arduino simulator examples - "Internal Pullup" 🤸‍♂️

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.

Use the information in the tips for more clarity. Click on the 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. 

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

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.

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?
