My daughter likes buttons. She's learning letters. I was bored over winter break and had these parts laying around... so I built her a "Button Box" based around an Arduino. Open source, hackable ...

The button states could easily be read by using an Arduino’s analog input. A Pro Mini model was chosen for its small size as it could be housed in the radio compartment of the dash.

You can read the state of a button using Arduino and a few lines of code. The actual state is shown in the Serial Monitor window as 0 or 1, 0 meaning the button is not pressed and 1 that the button is ...

While you hopefully don't need one-button access to 911, a desk-mounted panic button is undoubtedly cool, and it makes for a great DIY Arduino project.

When the Arduino code sees the button getting pressed, it brings the corresponding LED pin high and starts a fade out timer using the SoftPWM library by [Brett Hagman].

Did you know that you can use Arduino to turn on an LED when you press a button? Well, it is true, you can do this! Leaving the joke aside, let me show how you can achieve this. You will need the ...

This typically includes resistors, push buttons, and sensors, as well as jumper wires and solderless breadboards. You can buy these items separately from shops like Adafruit and SparkFun , but ...

This year at CES, Intel introduced Curie — a button-sized system-on-chip module made for low-power wearables — but the company was mum on what would be the first products to use it. Now we know.

Arduino's Create Agent is what you need to get started to coding, so whether you're on PC, Mac, or even on Chromebook, here's how to download the program.
