# Push buttons
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Push buttons are push-to-make switches. This means that they are **on when they
|
||
|
|
pressed and off when they are not pressed**. A classic example would be the
|
||
|
|
switches on a keyboard.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Push buttons have four legs that are connected in signal-in and signal-out
|
||
|
|
pairs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To create a breakable circuit we would connect a signal-in cable to the top left
|
||
|
|
at row 23 and a signal-out cable to the bottom-right at row 25.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To override the switch functionality and just have the button work as a
|
||
|
|
connector we would connect the signal-in to the row 23 input and the row 23
|
||
|
|
output.
