Buy this sensor on Amazon with the 37 in 1 kit
When the key is pressed the build in LED on pin 13 will be turned off.
Connecting to the Arduino
- Pin – = GND, connect to GND of the Arduino
- Pin (middle pin) +5 v, connect to Arduino +5
- Pin S signal, connect to Arduino pin 10
Example code
int Led = 13 ; // define LED Interface int buttonpin = 10; // define the key switch sensor interface int val ; // define numeric variables val void setup () { pinMode (Led, OUTPUT); // define LED as output interface pinMode (buttonpin, INPUT); // define the key switch sensor output interface } void loop () { val = digitalRead (buttonpin); // digital interface will be assigned a value of 3 to read val if (val == HIGH) // When the key switch when the sensor detects a signal, LED flashes { digitalWrite (Led, HIGH); } else { digitalWrite (Led, LOW); } }
