Title: tactile switch for $50 robot
Post by: Trumpkin on February 01, 2008, 09:31:44 AM

I was wondering how to connect a tactile switch to the $50 robot. You would just connect the two wires to the negative and positve headers on the servo ports right?

what would that do?

You would need to program it for tactile switches , tactile switches are just digital inputs

do the same thing you did with the photoresistor sensor, but replace the photoresistor with the switch.

and IIRC it should be an analog imput

why?

a switch has two statuses , on or off , no need for analog

and its "input" , not imput  ,lol
