Push Buttons — SIK Circuit 5

Use two push buttons for digital input. Learn about digitalRead(), pull-up resistors, and boolean logic (AND, OR, NOT) to control an LED.

Parts & Introduction

Push buttons are the simplest digital input. This experiment uses two buttons with an XOR logic gate: the LED turns on if you press either button, but turns off if you press both. You'll learn about digitalRead(), pull-up resistors, and boolean logic.

Parts Needed

  • 1x Arduino Uno + USB cable
  • 1x Breadboard
  • 2x Push Buttons
  • 1x LED (any color)
  • 1x 330Ω Resistor
  • 2x 10KΩ Resistors (pull-ups)
  • 7x Jumper Wires

Hardware Hookup

Wiring Instructions

  1. Place both push buttons across the center canyon of the breadboard.
  2. Button 1: Connect one pin to GND. Connect the opposite diagonal pin to Arduino Digital Pin 2. Add a 10K resistor between Pin 2 and 5V (pull-up).
  3. Button 2: Connect one pin to GND. Connect the opposite diagonal pin to Arduino Digital Pin 3. Add a 10K resistor between Pin 3 and 5V (pull-up).
  4. Connect LED positive leg to Digital Pin 13, negative leg through 330Ω resistor to GND.

Note: The pull-up resistors hold the input HIGH when the button is not pressed. Pressing the button connects the pin to GND (LOW).

Test & Experiment

What You Should See

The LED turns on when you press either button individually. It turns off when you press both buttons simultaneously (XOR logic).

Troubleshooting

  • Not responding: Push buttons are square — it's easy to put them in the wrong orientation. Try rotating 90°.
  • LED always on or always off: Check the pull-up resistor connections. Without them, the input pin floats and reads random values.

Experiments to Try

  • Change the logic to AND (both buttons required) or simple OR.
  • Use the buttons to control an RGB LED — one button for color, one for brightness.
  • Try using INPUT_PULLUP mode to eliminate the external resistors.
