Description

  • The KY-004 Push Button Switch Module is a small and simple electronic component designed to provide an easy way to add push button functionality to a microcontroller project. It consists of a small micro switch with two contacts, which can be activated by pressing the button. The module also includes a built-in pull-up resistor, which means that it can be connected directly to a microcontroller input pin without the need for additional components.
  • The module is compatible with any microcontroller system, making it a versatile and convenient choice for a wide range of projects. It can be used as a simple on/off button, or as part of more complex input systems such as menus or user interfaces.
  • The KY-004 Push Button Switch Module is easy to use and requires minimal setup. Simply connect the module to the microcontroller using the included pins, and then use the appropriate code to detect button presses and trigger actions in your project.

Specification:

  • Material: FR4
  • Operating Voltage: 5V DC

Library:

  • No external library is requrired for this module to work.

Code

int Led = 13 ;// Declaration of the LED-output pin
int Sensor = 10; // Declaration of the sensor input pin
int val; // Temporary variable

void setup ()
{
    pinMode (Led, OUTPUT) ; // Initialization output pin
    pinMode (Sensor, INPUT) ; // Initialization sensor pin
    digitalWrite(Sensor, HIGH); // Activating of the internal pull-up resistor
}

void loop ()
{
    val = digitalRead (Sensor) ; // The current signal from the sensor will be read

    if (val == HIGH) // If a signal will be detected, the LED will light up.
    {
        digitalWrite (Led, LOW);
    }
    else
    {
        digitalWrite (Led, HIGH);
    }
}
