It is simple to connect a button to the Arduino. You need the button, some wires, and a resistor. But what if we no longer need the resistor and want to still be able to use the button with no false readings?
The resistor is mandatory for proper operation of a button, and everybody will insist on using it. However, there is a little secret embedded in each Arduino pin. Each pin already has a pull-up resistor that we can enable with just one small change in our code.
For this recipe, you will need just two components:
An Arduino board connected to a computer via USB
A push button
There is just one simple step in this recipe:
