Arduino Modulino® Buttons

Introduction

The Arduino Modulino® Buttons is an innovative input device designed to enhance user interaction in various projects. With its tactile push-buttons and customizable RGB LEDs, this module provides an intuitive way to implement controls in your Arduino-based applications.

Part Description

The Arduino Modulino® Buttons features three SPST (Single Pole Single Throw) push-buttons, each accompanied by an RGB LED for visual feedback. This module is engineered for seamless integration with Arduino Uno R4 boards through the Qwiic I2C connector, making it easy to add interactive controls to your projects. The onboard STM32C011F4 microcontroller manages the LED colors and brightness independently, allowing for efficient communication over I2C. Its modular and solderless design makes it ideal for rapid prototyping, educational settings, and hobbyist projects.
