Code Examples

Here are some code examples that demonstrate how to use the Microswitch KW10-Z1P Limit Switch in different contexts:

Example 1: Simple On/Off Control using Arduino

In this example, we'll use the Microswitch KW10-Z1P to control an LED light using an Arduino board.
```c++
const int ledPin = 13;  // Choose a pin for the LED
const int switchPin = 2;  // Choose a pin for the Microswitch

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

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);
}
```
Example 2: Object Detection using Raspberry Pi and Python

In this example, we'll use the Microswitch KW10-Z1P to detect the presence of an object using a Raspberry Pi and Python.
```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO

# Set up GPIO mode
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)

# Set up the Microswitch pin as an input
switch_pin = 17
GPIO.setup(switch_pin, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_UP)

while True:
    if GPIO.input(switch_pin) == GPIO.LOW:
        print("Object detected!")
    else:
        print("No object detected.")
    time.sleep(0.1)
```
Example 3: Home Automation using ESP32 and MicroPython

In this example, we'll use the Microswitch KW10-Z1P to control a relay module using an ESP32 board and MicroPython.
```python
import machine
import utime

# Set up the Microswitch pin as an input
switch_pin = machine.Pin(32, machine.Pin.IN)

# Set up the relay module pin as an output
relay_pin = machine.Pin(33, machine.Pin.OUT)

while True:
    if switch_pin.value() == 0:
        relay_pin.value(1)  # Turn on the relay
    else:
        relay_pin.value(0)  # Turn off the relay
    utime.sleep(0.1)
```
These code examples demonstrate how to use the Microswitch KW10-Z1P Limit Switch in various contexts, including simple on/off control, object detection, and home automation.
