Using these LED switch buttons is easy. First, connect the button to your micro:bit or other compatible device using the provided digital sensor connector. The Gravity interface makes this connection quick and hassle - free. When you press the button, it will lock in place and the LED will light up in one of the five available colors. To turn it off, just press the button again. When programming, you can use platforms like MakeCode, Mind+, or Arduino IDE. For example, in Mind+ you can create interesting interactive projects. Note that the recommended working voltage is 3.3V, although it can work between 3.3 - 5V. Avoid applying a voltage outside this range to prevent damage. To maintain the buttons, keep them in a dry and clean place. If there is dust on the buttons, you can gently wipe them with a soft cloth. The stickers can be used to customize the appearance of the buttons, but make sure to apply them carefully to avoid any air bubbles.
