## Description

Buttons are an accessible, tactile way to add a control input to your project. The **PiicoDev® Button** takes care of the finer points of button inputs (like debouncing) so you don't have to worry about the technical details. Connecting to the button is easy and solder-free with the PiicoDev Connection System - plug your button in and get coding! We've prepared a [great guide](https://core-electronics.com.au/guides/piicodev-button-getting-started-guide/) full of useful examples to help you get started working with your favourite development board in MicroPython.

**Features**

- Debouncing is taken care of on-board. Simplify your code!
- Connect many buttons together for more complex projects
- A great [guide](https://core-electronics.com.au/guides/piicodev-button-getting-started-guide/) to get you started
- PiicoDev connector, compatible with Qwiic and STEMMA QT (3.3V only)
- 2.54mm breakout for breadboarding/prototyping
- Comes with a white cap that's easy to draw on or add stickers to, but you can replace it with [a coloured cap](https://core-electronics.com.au/makerverse-switch-and-cap-assortment-1.html) if you like
- Manufactured and [supported](https://core-electronics.com.au/contacts/) in Australia by Core Electronics

Here are some of the features we have baked into PiicoDev:

- **Unified MicroPython libraries.** The same MicroPython code examples will work on all supported platforms.
- **Simple-and-expandable connections.** Modules can be connected using a 4-pin connector and daisy-chained to expand projects.
- **Breakout pins.** Every module has a breakout section for optional advanced uses.
- **Consistent size.** We have taken care to ensure modules are consistent sizes so that they easy for 3D printing cases, stacking and experimenting with.
- **Creative freedom.** Simmer all of these features together and you end up with lots of creative freedom while still being a hands-on electronics experience.
 
PiicoDev modules are designed by our team in Newcastle and manufactured in Australia and overseas. They’re made for makers and educators alike — affordable, reliable, and easy to use. [Get in touch](https://core-electronics.com.au/contacts/) if you have any questions.
