Prototyping microcontrollers on a breadboard or any similar setup is very common. The Tiny LED Switch Breakout
board quickly verifies GPIO outputs or code behavior when the input changes. No need to grab a bunch of LEDs, resistors, or switches. Just use this board.
Seeing the logic state of different buttons, switches, and data lines is beneficial. With the TinyLedSwitch Breakout Board
, it is easy to identify the source of a problem, whether it be a bad switch, wire, or code.
The fully assembled board includes:
- Two switches to pull down GPIO input to the ground via a 10 kOhm resistor.
- Four colored (red, yellow, green, and blue) LEDs indicate the GPIO output state.
- Pin spacing is 0.1" to fit a standard breadboard.
- The width of the board between pin rows is 0.7".
- Power with 3-5V is only required when using the pull-down switch.
The Arduino library LedTask on GitHub shows an example using this board (v1.1). LedTask
offers an elementary multi-tasking
example with four LEDs, and these run close to independent of each other, and in addition a switch example sketch.
- Operating voltage (optionally for the pull-down switches): 3.3-5V.
- The board size is 20.8 x 31.0 mm (0.82"x1.22") and fabricated as a two-layer board.
- Board thickness: 1.6 mm (63 mils).
- Color: Purple
- Weight: 3 grams (0.11 ounce).
- Height: 15 mm (0.59").
The TinyLedSwitch - A universal breakout board
is available fully assembled in two header pin variants but can be ordered without soldered header pins.
