How to Use Buttons with Raspberry Pi (Breadboard Tutorial, LED Control)

This video will teach beginner Raspberry Pi users how to use push buttons with a breadboard. I explain in detail how push buttons work, how you can use them to control a LED circuit, and demonstrate three ways to use buttons on a breadboard with Raspberry Pi GPIO.

This tutorial is exclusively breadboard work. If you want to see coding examples for buttons with Raspberry Pi, please see my other videos:

thank you so much for these amazing tutorials

I really like (and I've used) your breadboard-placement suggestions. I view your advice to be "structured wiring optimization." Your wirings do so much to avoid "spaghetti wiring" (that's a coding callback to the goto days.) Thank you.

There ought to be a current limiting resistor, in case you accidentally set the pin as an output.
