1. Introduction
A four-wire simulated independent push-button switch includes 4 four-leg push-buttons, which are protected by metal strips to protect the force condition; in the four-wire push-button switch, when a button is pressed, the circuit is conductive; when the pressure is released, the circuit is open.The force of pressure, is the action of using our hands to press buttons, turn on and off.Four push-button switches share a single analog output. The analog value output varies when different buttons are pressed, allowing for the determination of which button is pressed. The four analog switch modules contain 4 instantaneous press buttons, and the interface of this module simulates analog signals. The working principle of the simulated switch is to switch the output status of the signal according to the analog value of the input signal.The simulation switch usually has multiple input channels and one output channel, and it can select the channel to be connected to the output by controlling the input signal.We can control four buttons using an Arduino's analog port, which can greatly reduce the need for using IO interfaces.For Arduino beginners, creation is more convenient.
