Switches, Debouncing and Arduino

When we boil it down, everyday interactions with electronics are usually limited to controlling stuff with switches. Whether it be turning on the lights, switching on your laptop or turning on the kettle, all examples of how a physical switch works to control electrical current flow.

Today we are going to look at the different switch types we can get, the specifications of these switches, the schematic symbols and jargon we hear when working with switches and then we will look at the real-world applications of switches and problems we encounter in making circuits that use switches. Especially when interfacing with the Arduino!
