16x2 LCD Shield

Post by wolfnuka »

Hello, so i bought the LCD shield, and i am having some trouble interfacing the board with 2 legged pushbuttons, since the board is made to work with the tiny 4 leg pushbuttons i dont seem to get it to work using a singe lend push button, i am using this push buttons: https://www.adafruit.com/products/1439
how can i get this board to work with a push button like those? should i bridge the connections?

Connect one pin to the pad circled in yellow below. Connect the other pin to the pad diagonally opposite.

Got it! Awesome, you just saved me re- routing my push buttons to the arduino pins and adding pull down resistors, and extra coding, thank you!!!!
