Arduino Example

Arduino Button Input Example

Read a push button using INPUT_PULLUP.

Wiring

Check pinout, power supply, common GND and voltage levels before connecting the module.

Full code

const int buttonPin = 2;
const int ledPin = 13;

void setup() {
  pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT_PULLUP);
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  bool pressed = digitalRead(buttonPin) == LOW;
  digitalWrite(ledPin, pressed ? HIGH : LOW);
}

How it works

This lesson matches the page title and gives a clean starting point for this exact example.

Common mistakes

Check board selection, wiring, libraries, power supply and serial monitor baud rate.

Frequently asked questions
