Interfacing Switch

Fig. 1 shows how to interface the switch to microcontroller. A simple switch has an
open state and closed state. However, a microcontroller needs to see a definite high
or low voltage level at a digital input. A switch requires a pull-up or pull-down resistor
to produce a definite high or low voltage when it is open or closed. A resistor placed
between a digital input and the supply voltage is called a “pull-up” resistor because it
normally pulls the pin’s voltage up to the supply.

Interfacing Switch with 8051


We now want to control the LED by using switches in 8051 Development board. It
works by turning ON a LED & then turning it OFF when switch is going to LOW or
HIGH.

The 8051 Development board has eight numbers of point LEDs, connected with I/O
Port lines (P0.0 – P0.7) to make port pins high. Eight switches, connected with I/O port
lines (P2.0 – P2.7) are used to control eight LEDs.

The Interfacing switch with 8051 program is very simple and straight forward, that
controls led by using switches when it going LOW or HIGH.
