You can't expect to get everything you need at the push of a button. But in many cases,
it’s just the right solution. Introducing Button R click.
Like Benjamin, buttons never get old. You can have your swipes, multitouch gestures, taps
and double taps, but the tactile feedback from pushing a physical button is difficult to
replace. It’s the type of technology that won’t ever get surpassed.
Add a bright LED under it — in this case red — and it suddenly looks like a real
important button. What does it do? Does it launch rockets into orbit? Or does it dispense
embarrassing tweets about your enemies from some undisclosed account?
Depends all on how you set it up, of course. By itself (given a 3.3V or 5V power supply),
the button just sends an interrupt signal to the target MCU. The background LED is
controlled separately through the PWM pin.
In our Libstock example, we played with the background LED. It changes patterns with
subsequent button presses. Just goes to show that you can use it for more than a simple
on/off switch (the background LED can indicate multiple states).
As with other clicks where LEDs play a prominent role, more colors are coming up.
