Pin Configuration

Rocker Switch Mini On Off SPST 2 Pin Documentation
Overview
The Rocker Switch Mini On Off SPST 2 Pin is a compact, single-pole single-throw (SPST) switch designed for ON/OFF applications. It features a rugged and durable construction, making it suitable for various IoT and electronics projects.
Pinout
The Rocker Switch Mini has two pins, labeled as follows:
Pin 1: COM (Common) Pin
Function: This pin is the common terminal of the switch, which connects to the power source or load.
Description: The COM pin is the central connection point for the switch, providing a path for the electrical current to flow when the switch is in the ON position.
Connection: Connect the COM pin to the positive terminal of the power source (VCC) or the load (e.g., an LED, relay, or sensor).
Pin 2: NC (Normally Closed) Pin
Function: This pin is the normally closed terminal of the switch, which connects to the load or circuit when the switch is in the OFF position.
Description: The NC pin is the second connection point for the switch, which completes the circuit when the switch is in the OFF position. When the switch is turned ON, the connection between COM and NC is broken, disconnecting the load or circuit.
Connection: Connect the NC pin to the negative terminal of the load (e.g., an LED, relay, or sensor). When the switch is in the OFF position, the NC pin will connect to the COM pin, completing the circuit.
Connection Structure
To connect the Rocker Switch Mini, follow these steps:
1. Connect the COM pin to the positive terminal of the power source (VCC) or the load (e.g., an LED, relay, or sensor).
2. Connect the NC pin to the negative terminal of the load (e.g., an LED, relay, or sensor).
Example Connection Diagram
Here's an example connection diagram for an LED circuit:
COM pin VCC (Positive Terminal)
NC pin LED Cathode (Negative Terminal)
LED Anode (Positive Terminal) Resistor GND (Ground)
When the switch is in the OFF position, the COM pin and NC pin are connected, completing the circuit and turning on the LED. When the switch is turned ON, the connection between COM and NC is broken, disconnecting the LED and turning it off.
Remember to always follow proper safety precautions and consider the voltage and current ratings of the switch and connected components when designing your project.

void setup() {
  pinMode(switchPin, INPUT);
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  int switchState = digitalRead(switchPin);
  if (switchState == HIGH) {
    digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);  // Turn on the LED
  } else {
    digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);  // Turn off the LED
  }
  delay(50);

switch_pin = machine.Pin(18, machine.Pin.IN)  # Rocker Switch Mini pin connected to GPIO18
relay_pin = machine.Pin(23, machine.Pin.OUT)  # Relay module connected to GPIO23

while True:
    if switch_pin.value() == 1:
        relay_pin.value(1)  # Turn on the relay
    else:
        relay_pin.value(0)  # Turn off the relay
    utime.sleep(0.05)
```
