Boson - Yellow Push Button - Input

The Yellow Push Button Module is a versatile and tactile input designed to introduce learners to basic interactivity within electronic systems. When pressed, the button sends a signal to other modules, allowing students to trigger lights, sounds, or actions. Its bright yellow colour and simple design make it ideal for beginning coders and electronics learners. The intuitive functionality of this module makes it a go-to choice for all kinds of creative and educational applications.

Educational Benefits:
