Fingerprint Sensor AS608 - A Beginner's Guide
One touch can replace keys. This project uses an optical fingerprint sensor to enroll users and then grant access with a quick scan.
read tutorial →Arcade LED Lights Push Button Built-In Switch 5V Illuminated Buttons Diy Kit from Circuitrocks is ideal for DIY electronics builds.
Great for Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, and robotics or school projects here in the Philippines.
An arcade button with an LED. Flashy and cool looking. Take your arcade box to the next level.
The buttons screw in place, so you can use with up to ~20mm thick material, and will cover up if the hole if it isn't perfectly round and clean. The action is smooth, without a strong click, yet you can definitely feel when the button is pressed. A tiny micro-switch is pre-installed, with gold plated contacts.
Even unlit, they look fantastic: all of the colors have a crystal translucent glossy look. As noted they have two surface mount LEDs with resistors built-in, buried in the button body. Next to the switch contacts are two additional contacts for powering/controlling the LEDs. The two LEDs are connected in parallel with a 200ohm resistor, so you can power the LED from a microcontroller pin or direct from 5V (say USB) with a 10mA draw. You can go down to 3.3V power, only 2mA per button, but they'll be dimmer.
