LEDs<\/a> are versatile components that can create beautiful projects and even serve as indicators. While there are many ways to utilize LEDs, we present a way to merge beauty and notification: “The LED button.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the concept of the LED button can have two meanings. It could mean a button that controls a bunch of LEDs or an LED in the form of a button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article will look at the LED as a button and how it works. You’ll also learn how to control LEDs from your phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you ready? Let’s start!<\/p>\n\n\n

Do you remember those buttons that glow green or red when you push them? They are perfect examples of LED buttons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, it can help add beauty to your project. LED buttons are similar to normal controls but light up when pressed. In short, they give visual feedback to indicate when a circuit is running or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These buttons come in different colors (red, yellow, or green), and you can arrange them to indicate different statuses—like regular LEDs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LED buttons have four leg structures that allow electricity to flow through the connected circuit when pressed.<\/p>\n\n\n

How does it Work?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

When we connect one button pin through a 5v supply and the other with an LED via a resistor, the LED button get sets to glow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it’s in an idle state, the button breaks the circuit, and there won’t be any current flow. However, pressing the button will complete the course and allow current flow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can be a push LED button that will break the circuit once you stop pushing. Alternatively, it could be a regular button that requires a second push to deactivate the course. The complete circuit will light up the controller and run the desired action.<\/p>\n\n\n
