Quick Steps

  • Install ezLED library. See How To
  • Connect Arduino to PC via USB cable
  • Open Arduino IDE, select the right board and port
  • On Arduino IDE, Go to File Examples ezLED LEDToggle example
/* Created by ArduinoGetStarted.com This example code is in the public domain Tutorial page: https://arduinogetstarted.com/library/led/example/arduino-led-toggle This example turn ON/OFF led according to state of button. */ #include <ezButton.h> // ezButton library https://arduinogetstarted.com/tutorials/arduino-button-library #include <ezLED.h> // ezLED library ezButton button(7); // create a button object that attach to pin 7 ezLED led(3); // create a LED object that attach to pin 3 void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); button.setDebounceTime(50); // set debounce time to 50ms } void loop() { button.loop(); // MUST call the loop() function first led.loop(); // MUST call the loop() function first if (button.isPressed()) { led.toggle(); // toggle immediately //led.toggle(1000); // toggle after 1 second } if (led.getOnOff() == LED_ON) Serial.println("LED is ON"); else Serial.println("LED is OFF"); }
