## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA5436:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA5436:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

This **Square Silicone Button PWM Controller** is a satisfyingly-squishy, easy-to-wire PWM output button controller with three color power-adjustment statuses in red, blue, and green. A simple way to add a three-cycle power/PWM button and a colorful [universal power symbol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_symbol) to your project. These were originally designed for [controlling heating pad modules](https://core-electronics.com.au/search?q=heating+pad) in wearable thermal vests, but Adafruit can think of more than a couple of ways to hack this for a DIY project such as simple 12V lighting or fan control.

Note that this is a three-cycle button, not an on-off switch! Also, the internal LED is not connected to the switch - its independent and is an indicator only.

The red and black wires are the power input: connect to 3.6~12VDC power, red positive and black ground. The blue and black wires are then the output power, blue positive and black ground.

Press and hold for two seconds to turn it on, and the button will light up red for full-strength 100% PWM. Press the button again for 70% PWM, the button will light blue. Press again for the third low green level at 35% PWM. Long press for two seconds to turn everything off.
