    This document provides instructions and code examples for two laboratory exercises using Arduino to control LEDs with push buttons. Exercise 1 demonstrates using a push button to turn an LED on and off. It involves setting the button as an input, writing high to activate the internal pull-up resistor, and writing high to the output pin to light the LED when the button is pressed. Exercise 2 shows changing an LED's brightness with two push buttons. It can be done by changing the resistor size or using pulse-width modulation to rapidly turn the LED on and off. The code example uses analogWrite to set the LED brightness from 0-255 based on button presses. The activity asks students to modify the

    Laboratory Experiment 3

    COE 5
    INPUTS

    Push Buttons
    Potentiometers

    Light Dependent Resistors (LDR)


    Push Buttons
    Most common type of pushbutton are called “normally open” (NO).
    There is a less common type called “normally closed” (NC) that is
    closed (connected) when not pushed and open when pushed..

    symbol (NO)
    Exercise 1: Button-Led Circuit 1
     The purpose of the Button-Led Circuit 1 is to demo how Arduino
    will be controlling an LED via pushbutton.
    Exercise 1: Button-Led Circuit 1
    Write the sketch below and verify the result.

    setup the button Pin as INPUT

    write HIGH to the INPUT pin

    sets up the pin to be OUTPUT

    write HIGH out when the value read


    from the pin connected to the button
    is LOW. (to light the LED when the
    button is pressed)
    Exercise 1: Button-Led Circuit 1
    Writing HIGH to the INPUT pin - Activating internal pull-up resistors

    For electricity to flow, a complete circuit from the power to ground shall be
    established by the push button.
    Exercise 2: Button-Led Circuit 2
     The purpose of the Button-Led Circuit 2 is to demo how Arduino
    can change the brightness of an LED via two pushbuttons.
    Exercise 2: Button-Led Circuit 2
    Two ways to change the brightness of an LED

     Change the amount of current going through the LED by changing


    the size of the resistor.

     Turn the LED on and OFF faster or slower

    “The more time that the LED is on in a given period of time, the
    “brighter” it will appear
    Exercise 2: Button-Led Circuit 2
    PWM – Pulse Width Modulator

     Arduino supports PWM on certain pins (3, 4,5,9,10 and 11) at


    500Hz.
     One can analogWrite() a value between 0 and 255.(never and
    always 5V)
     A PWM output that is ON half the time is said to have a duty cycle
    (ratio of“ON” time to total time) of 50%.
    Exercise 2: Button-Led Circuit 2- Sample Program

    guarantees the value of LED


    Brightness will be between 0 and 255
    (including 0 and 255)

    uses analogWrite to perform PWM


    Should be kept small ! on that pin with the set value.
    Activity
    1. Modify the sketch of exercise 1 so that the LED is normally on and
    pressing the button turns it OFF

    2. Upload the sketch of exercise 2 verify the result. What happens if both
    pushbuttons are pressed? Why?
