Latching switches come in a variety of packages and have uses with microcontrollers. In this video we will learn how to use a latching switch to alter the behavior of our programs. In this video we will cover:
* What latching switches are
* Applications for latching switches
* Review of a data sheet
* Fritzing wiring diagram (schematic)
* Breadboard example
* MicroPython program example

This series is awesome Chris! I've found it helpful getting into the hardware side of things. One thing I'm confused on is how the button should be wired. I see mixed information, where some guides suggest connecting to a data pin + ground + PULL_UP mode (but not 3.3v), and others - like yours here - suggesting data + 3.3v + PULL_DOWN mode (but not ground). Any chance you can elaborate on the importance/difference here? I'm having a hard time understanding why someone would connect one way versus the other.

In my case, I found both approaches to work but I can't tell what's the significance/difference. Are the both "the same thing" just done slightly differently? Are there any trade offs/considerations?
