Blink-Frequency-Buttons

This examples shows how to use two push buttons to set the frequency at which an LED blinks.

Boards: 🛈

AVR, AVR USB, Nano Every, Nano 33 IoT, Nano 33 BLE, UNO R4, Pi Pico, Due, Teensy 3.x, ESP8266, ESP32

Connections

• 2: Momentary push button (other pin to ground)
• 3: Momentary push button (other pin to ground)

The internal pull-up resistors will be enabled.

Behavior

• If you press the first push button, the LED blinks faster.
• If you press the second push button, the LED blinks slower.
• You can press and hold one of the push buttons to change the frequency by multiple steps.
• If you press both buttons at the same time, the frequency is reset to the initial default frequency.
