Tactile Button with White LED Glow Breakout Board

What is it?

Introducing our Tactile Button with LED Glow Breakout Board – the perfect solution for integrating a tactile button with vibrant LED illumination into your electronic projects. (See Demo Video).

Key Features:

Tactile Feedback: The tactile button provides a satisfying click, giving users tactile confirmation of input. Whether it's for user interface navigation, menu selection, or any other interactive application, the tactile response enhances user experience and usability.

LED Glow: Enhance the visual appeal of your projects with the built-in white LED glow. The LED can be programmed to turn on, blink, or gradually glow/fade when connected to PWM. This allows for creative customization and dynamic visual feedback. Whether it's indicating system status, highlighting active functions, or simply adding an aesthetic touch, the LED glow adds an extra dimension to your projects. The LED can be controlled separately from the button.

Compact and Durable: Designed with space efficiency and durability in mind, our breakout board is compact enough to fit into tight spaces while ensuring reliable performance even in demanding environments. Whether you're building handheld devices, IoT gadgets, or interactive installations, this breakout board can withstand the rigors of real-world usage.

The breakout board has the following pinouts:

• LED_N: LED Negative (normally connected to GND)
• LED_P: LED Positive (can be connected to MCU GPIO or PWM pin)
• BTN_N: Button Negative Terminal (normally connected to GND)
• BTN_P: Button Positive Terminal (normally connected to MCU GPIO Pin with Pullup)

Potential Use Cases

Interactive Wearables: Incorporate the tactile button with LED glow into wearable electronics such as smart clothing or accessories. Users can easily interact with the device through the tactile button while the LED glow provides visual feedback, creating an engaging and interactive user experience.

Educational Projects: Ideal for educational purposes, this breakout board can be used in STEM workshops, robotics classes, or electronics tutorials to teach students about input/output mechanisms, basic circuitry, and programming concepts. The combination of tactile feedback and LED illumination makes learning hands-on and engaging for students of all ages.

Game Controllers: Create custom game controllers or arcade cabinets using the tactile button with LED glow.

IoT Interfaces: Integrate the breakout board into Internet of Things (IoT) devices as a user interface element. Whether it's controlling smart home appliances, monitoring environmental sensors, or interacting with connected devices, the tactile button and LED glow provide intuitive feedback and control options for users.
