Overview

In this tutorial we will make use of  a library called SensorMonitor available on Github

This example uses the Sensor Monitor library to poll changes detected on the switch from an Arduino. It can be used for example to detect when a door is opened/closed, PIR motion detected, or with any other device that acts like a switch as an output.

Prerequisites

Nothing special required besides the required components.

Source Code

The source code for this project is available on my GitHub Repository.

Required Components

• Arduino
• Push button
• 1K Resistor
• A breadboard might be useful if you don’t want to solder

Running the code

git pull https://github.com/trojanc/learn-arduino
cd learn-arduino/sensor-monitor-switch
platformio init
platformio run --target run
platformio device monitor
