Tutorial Video
What You’ll Learn
- Connect a push button to the circuit
- Understand the button as an input
- Use the button state in your program to control the servo
Follow Along
- Connect the button by following the wiring in the video.
- Add the button blocks to your program.
- Test the program by pressing the button and checking that the box responds as expected.
Check Your Work
Before moving on, make sure your project behaves like the example shown in the video. If something isn’t working, compare your wiring and code carefully with the video before changing multiple things at once.
