darksaber project: another button option

Post by mokatorota »

hi.
id like to make the darksaber project, in the parts list... the suggested button is: https://www.adafruit.com/product/4660 , which is out of stock.

can i use instead this one? https://www.adafruit.com/product/917
i dont like the rgb thing honestly, but i still dont understand if the rgb button is a MUST due to how it is connected to the circuit...design or... it is suggested because "it looks cooler"?

thanks for any help on this!

That button will work. You can just connect the single LED to one of the pins and ignore the others.

Looking at the code, it seems to just turn on all three and leave them. So the output would be just white anyway.

Follow the wiring diagram in the guide with the following changes:
* Connect the pin marked "+" like "Com LED".
* Connect the pin marked "-" like "Blue LED"
* Ignore the connections for "Red LED" and "Green LED".
