Pushbutton Digital Input With Arduino in Tinkercad

Let's learn how to read a pushbutton using Arduino's digital input! We'll connect up a simple circuit using a solderless breadboard and use some simple Arduino code to control a single LED.

Check out the rest of our huge collection of interactive beginner electronics tutorials, and even build circuits into your 3D designs.

Tinkercad is a free, online 3D design and 3D printing app for everyone.

Thank you so much for the tutorial. I was programming the button wrong all along

[RajeshKalaShinas]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE EXCELLENT EXPLANATION OF CONNECTING PUSH BUTTTON

[redefined]

Thank you for that point on the pull down resistor. Could never have figured that one out myself, tbh.

[ronakagarwal]

Why did you connect resistor with the pushbutton

[qzorn]

what a great educational voice and lecture.. i could listen for hours... thanks a lot...:)

I press but nothing happens. My code shows LED_BUILTIN and not 13 for the output. Not sure why it is not working. Any suggestions from anyone would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
// C++ code
//
int buttonState = 0;

void setup()
{
pinMode(2, INPUT);
pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}

void loop()
{
// read the state of the pushbutton
buttonState = digitalRead(2);
// check if pushbutton is pressed. If it is, button
// state is HIGH
if (buttonState == HIGH) {
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);
} else {
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);
}
delay(10); // Delay a little bit to improve simulation performance
}

How to disable a button when another is active and I want to press button x and would glow led1 after that I will press stop button then led1 go off after that I will press button y and would glow led2 however I don't want to glow led1 or led2 while one of each is glowing. Pressing stop button must be mandatory

[Rebel-from-Hell]

can you add debounce on code blocks to keep the LED after releasing the button?

[hphai]

please tell me the best place to learn tinkercad with live classes

[KREMENAK]

Thank you. But how to press 2 buttons in same time?

Madam with this code I had associated simple built_in led blink code and change button led to pin 4
Problem is when I pressed the button, the 4th pin led glow but the built in led goes off
My objective is that when I pressed the button the button led will glow else LOW,
Simultaneously the built in led perform their standard blink code

// C++ code
//
int Button_State = 0;

void setup()
{
pinMode(2, INPUT);
pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}

void loop()
{
Button State = digitalRead(2);
if (Button State == HIGH) {
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);
} else {
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);
}
delay(10); // Delay a little bit to improve simulation performance
}

makseh kak tpi ada sikit yang aptut kitak perbaiki tek sebab mek ambi masa juak cri error tek tapi dh jumpa apa apa pun makseh mena mena kak mek apprieciate gilak gilak

How can I use the button to dim up and then turn off the LED? off, 50% brightness, 100% brightness, then off.

Hello, can you post another video but uses text instead of blocks? Thank you!

[darrenstettner]

Thanks for the lessons. I learned a lot.

[carsonbell]

I have a project I'm doing and don't know how to do it. I have done a lot of research, but to no avail. I need a switch to turn on the LEDs, then I need a button to have 3 LEDs lit and stay lit, then with that same button, once pushed have it turn off the lit ones and light up a set of 3 other (different) LEDs and say lit until the button is pushed again and the process repeats for an additional set of 3 and then continues in that loop until I decide to turn off the power switch. if I turn the power switch back on the same ones need to be lit that were lit when I switched the power off. Is this possible? Do I need to hire someone? Is there any code available or schematic diagram. Thanks in advance. -Carson

Do you know how I can press and mantain pressed, *two* buttons in the simulator of TinkerCAD?

[Jacobdalolman]

Help. The button can't reach across the dividing line to the pins on the other side.

[dhruv]

mam plz make some more videos .yr work is really grt
