Thank you so much. I needed to program something for the school where I had to set up the button as you explained. In no video I have found a programming that detects when you press the button to turn on a light and then another press to turn it off. Thanks again. Keep explaining this kind of stuff, it's worth it.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! Instead of an LED, I used this on an 8 part Relay to power my LED Strips. I do have a problem where if I accidentally jiggle the wires it thinks a button is pressed, but that's likely the cheap breadboard/crappy duponts. If you're doing the same I had to put my delay to 1000 milis otherwise it was going crazy. (It's interesting at first, but a great way to damage them.)
@@FlockofSmeagles Yeah the next day mine just turned on and off without pressing the button... I love coding... I'll see if I can figure out why, but I have very little faith in my coding capabilities (or lack thereof lol) Also I actually put mine on 1250 milliseconds, which is 1.25 Seconds...

I enjoyed the video and was finally sucessful in running the code on my Arduino Uno. I think it was unnecessarly difficult to extract the code from the video considering the many "back and forth" journeys in the coding.

If the button is pressed again the LED will remain off unless the button is pressed again.

Very nice, could you make one where you have 2 leds and 2 buttons where button 1 changes led1 state and button 2 changes changes button 1 to change state for led 2 ?
Hi, thank you so much for your detailed instruction! But I don't know why it even lights up without me pressing the button. When I press it, it gets lighter. How can I solve this issue tho? Thank you so much!
//My code version: #include #define LED_PIN 8 #define BUTTON_PIN 3 bool LedState = false; //bool - the state can only be ON or OFF. void setup() { pinMode(LED_PIN, OUTPUT); pinMode(BUTTON_PIN, INPUT); } void loop() { if(digitalRead(BUTTON_PIN) == HIGH){ //if the button is pressed enter if# delay(250); //small delay for button bounce. LedState = !LedState; //set LedState to be not what it is. } digitalWrite(LED_PIN, LedState);
If I wanted to wire this up without the bread board how can I do it in regards to the ground? Would I split the ground on the switch? Or how can I do that?
@@AashirwadTyagi-ch4me I figured it out bro. It's for making sure that arduino receives only 2 values, either 5v or 0v, from the pushbutton. Without the resistor, arduino might receive "floating" states or in-between values due to electrical noise, that can cause confusion and misbehaving of the circuit. When the button is not pressed, the resistor PULLS DOWN the reading to 0 volts, preventing false reading. Also it is said that the resistor prevents short circuiting by limiting the current, when button is pressed, coz it's directly connected to both terminals.
the button pin is 7 just because I decided to plug the wire from the button to the pin 7 on the circuit :) you could use any other valid pin, then make sure you use the same number in your code.
why the green led light is at d3 and d4 in the diagram at 4:11 and at 5:39, the actual green led light is at different place?. I'm a beginner and super confused....
It should light up when the user presses the button once, and then go out when he presses it again. However, if the user presses the button again within 5 seconds, the LED should turn on and turn off after 5 seconds. how can I do that
You have store the time of the first button press in a variable. You also have to store the number of presses in another variable. Then you test with (psuedo code) "If (ButtonPressCount >= 2 AND ButtonTimer
I've done this. Except with 5 buttons and LEDS. The debounce doesn't seem to work consistently a crossed all of them. is this because of how they are being called in the code? Is there a way to call each button and led block within an array? If you see this. I would appreciate your help, thank you.
Well, i use another debounce system that i think would work better for your case than the on in the video. Instead of using millis(), i use a bool system, let me give you an example: if (debounce == false) { // Checks if debounce is on or off debounce = true; // If its off, sets it true digitalWrite(13, ledState); // Turns led on or off delay(1000); // This is the debounce duration, i put 1000 miliseconds debounce = false; // Sets the debounce off after the designated time has passed } I am not sure if you can or not but i believe that you can implement this to multiple LEDs, probably you'd have to create 5 different bools
I replaced the push button with an electric wire, but when I short-circuited the electric wire, it turns on, and when I don't, the led turns off, but once I short-circuited, the led keeps turning on, so can't I replace it with an electric wire?
The button is to act as a "momentary" contact, that is to say you push it down for a fraction of a second and let it go again. This code is not designed for the buttong to be held down continuously. To use a wire for continuous contact try this code in the Loop: if(digitalRead(BUTTON_PIN) == HIGH){ digitalWrite(LED_PIN, HIGH); } else { digitalWrite(LED_PIN, LOW); }

Hey, fyi to make it even simpler instead of your if -> then -> else you could do ledState = !ledState

You may also have grounding or power supply problems. Try running on batteries for a clean DC supply.
yo man if you still can, can you send me a code?@@navb0tactual
Would delay(50); at the end of the if-condition not have done the job instead of the extra variables?
More helpful than the paid course

Turn on the LED when the button is pressed & keep the LED on unless the button is pressed again.

Very well explained. Thank you.
Very nice, could you make one where you have 2 leds and 2 buttons where button 1 changes led1 state and button 2 changes changes button 1 to change state for led 2 ?
that would be nice for me also
Can we use IR sensor instead of push button?
What a brain power ! Great stuff

how could i put a countdown with milis. so that the led goes off after 60 seconds?
Why not use state machine and task implementation?
Thanks Man👌
Nice video, good explenation but a bit slow. KEEP GOING!!! JUST DO IT ;)
If I wanted to wire this up without the bread board how can I do it in regards to the ground? Would I split the ground on the switch? Or how can I do that?
in this case you need to find a way to connect all grounds (maybe by soldering?)
I still don't understand why do we need that 10k resistor, while the pushbutton simply breaks the circuit when it's not pressed.
Pull down resistor
Yes bro i am also have this question

what do i do when there's two buttons and two LEDs?
copy the code and add two more ports. Change the copied code to reference the two new ports.

what are the 2 resistors used there which ohm ?
Read their color codes

what libraries do I need? it does not work... byte remains white

But why, if all you want to do is turn an led on and off, just use s power supply and switch
on your diagram resistor, it's seems 10k right ? not 100k on your video. its brown,black, yellow, gold
Yes it's 10k Ohm (4 band resistor)
Note that for the real circuit I use a 5 band resistor, so the colors are a bit different (but still 10k)
Why is not working?

I have known what is wrong the fking = after else just remove one
Compilation error: expected '}' at end of input - Line 17 😩
That's a syntax error, triple check your code to find the error :)
lol your board is totally different from your cad
Just different colors, but the pin layout is the same.

First project followed to the 't,' but get "Compilation error: 'digitalRead' was not declared in this scope"
Pretty dissapointing.
