Pin Configuration

  • 2 Way Slide Switch 2.54mm Pitch (Pack of 2) Component Documentation
  • Overview
  • The 2 Way Slide Switch 2.54mm Pitch is a mechanical switch component used to control the flow of electrical signals in IoT and other electronic projects. This component is a pack of two identical switches, each with a 2.54mm pitch and a sliding actuator that can be moved between two positions to open or close a circuit.
  • Pinout Diagram
  • The 2 Way Slide Switch has three pins, labeled as follows:
  • Pinout Description
  • Here is a detailed description of each pin:
  • 1. Common (C) Pin
  • Function: Connects to the common terminal of the switch
  • Description: This pin is connected to the moving contact of the switch and acts as the output of the switch
  • Connection: Connect to the circuit element that needs to be controlled (e.g., an LED, a motor, or a sensor)
  • 2. Normally Open (NO) Pin
  • Function: Connects to the normally open terminal of the switch
  • Description: This pin is connected to one of the fixed contacts of the switch and is open when the switch is in its default position
  • Connection: Connect to the power source or a signal line that needs to be connected to the common pin when the switch is activated
  • 3. Normally Closed (NC) Pin
  • Function: Connects to the normally closed terminal of the switch
  • Description: This pin is connected to the other fixed contact of the switch and is closed when the switch is in its default position
  • Connection: Connect to the ground or a signal line that needs to be disconnected from the common pin when the switch is activated
  • Connection Structure
  • Here is a step-by-step guide to connect the pins:
  • Connect the Common (C) Pin to the circuit element that needs to be controlled (e.g., an LED, a motor, or a sensor)
  • Connect the Normally Open (NO) Pin to the power source or a signal line that needs to be connected to the common pin when the switch is activated
  • Connect the Normally Closed (NC) Pin to the ground or a signal line that needs to be disconnected from the common pin when the switch is activated
  • Example Connection Diagram
  • Here is an example connection diagram:
  • Common (C) Pin -> LED Anode
  • Normally Open (NO) Pin -> Power Source (VCC)
  • Normally Closed (NC) Pin -> Ground (GND)
  • When the switch is in its default position, the LED is off because the Common Pin is connected to the Normally Closed Pin, which is connected to Ground. When the switch is slid to the other position, the Common Pin is connected to the Normally Open Pin, which is connected to the Power Source, turning the LED on.
  • Note: The above example is just a demonstration of the connection structure and may vary depending on the specific application and requirements.

Code Examples
### Example 1: Basic On/Off Switch using Arduino
In this example, we'll use the 2 Way Slide Switch to control an LED connected to an Arduino board.
```c++
const int ledPin = 13;  // Choose a digital pin for the LED
const int switchPin = 2;  // Choose a digital pin for the switch
void setup() {
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(switchPin, INPUT);
}
void loop() {
  int switchState = digitalRead(switchPin);
  if (switchState == HIGH) {
    digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);  // Turn the LED on
  } else {
    digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);  // Turn the LED off
  }
  delay(50);
}
```
### Example 2: Toggle Switch using Raspberry Pi (Python)
In this example, we'll use the 2 Way Slide Switch to toggle a GPIO pin on a Raspberry Pi.
```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
# Set up GPIO mode
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
# Define the GPIO pins
switch_pin = 17
gpio_pin = 23
# Set up the GPIO pins
GPIO.setup(switch_pin, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_UP)
GPIO.setup(gpio_pin, GPIO.OUT)
while True:
    switch_state = GPIO.input(switch_pin)
    if switch_state == GPIO.HIGH:
        GPIO.output(gpio_pin, GPIO.HIGH)  # Set the GPIO pin high
    else:
        GPIO.output(gpio_pin, GPIO.LOW)  # Set the GPIO pin low
    time.sleep(0.05)
```
### Example 3: Debounced Toggle Switch using ESP32 (C++)
In this example, we'll use the 2 Way Slide Switch to toggle a GPIO pin on an ESP32 board, with debouncing to prevent switch bouncing.
```c++
#include <WiFi.h>
const int switchPin = 32;
const int gpioPin = 33;
int switchState = 0;
int lastSwitchState = 0;
int gpioState = 0;
void setup() {
  pinMode(switchPin, INPUT);
  pinMode(gpioPin, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
  int reading = digitalRead(switchPin);
  if (reading != lastSwitchState) {
    lastSwitchState = reading;
    if (reading == HIGH) {
      gpioState = !gpioState;
      digitalWrite(gpioPin, gpioState);
    }
    delay(50);  // Debounce time (50ms)
  }
}
```
Note: In the examples above, the pin numbers and GPIO configurations may vary depending on the specific board and setup used. Ensure to adjust the code accordingly to match your specific application.
