Little clicky switches are standard input "buttons" on electronic projects. These are just like our Colorful Round Tactile Button Switch Assortment, but already assembled onto a PCB - they even have a pull-up resistor installed! The pins are normally open (disconnected) and when the button is pressed they are momentarily closed.
Each button comes with a candy-colored round cap snapped on. You get one of each color-- blue, white, yellow, red, and black.
Best of all, each button board comes with a JST-PH 2mm connector and a matching JST PH 3-Pin to Male Header Cables - 200mm, so wiring up is a cinch. Simply plug the cable in, then use the black wire to connect to your microcontroller/microcomputer ground, white wire to the input signal pin and the red wire to your power pin (3V or 5V) if you want to have the pull-up resistor activated.
If you want to connect to something with alligator clips use our STEMMA to Gator cable. To connect to something with a STEMMA 3-pin connector already, use this cable.
Works great with any device that wants a switch - Arduino, CircuitPython, Raspberry Pi, DIY builds...etc!
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- CircuitPython
- A beginner-friendly version of Python designed to run directly on microcontroller boards. If a product supports CircuitPython, you can often program it by copying code files onto the board rather than setting up a more complex toolchain.
- JST PH
- A small keyed plug-and-socket connector with 2 mm pin spacing, often used for low-power electronics connections. You need the correct JST PH cable, and its current rating limits how much power should be passed through it.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a chip that runs your program and controls connected inputs and outputs. For this product, it is the part that reads buttons and sensors, drives the display and speaker, and communicates over Bluetooth.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
- pH
- A measure of how acidic or alkaline a liquid is, on a scale where 7 is neutral. For a water monitoring kit, pH tells you about water chemistry and whether the included probe matches the range and accuracy your project needs.
- STEMMA
- A plug-and-cable connection system used on some maker electronics boards to make wiring simpler. If a product uses STEMMA, you need the matching cable or connector type to plug it in without soldering.
