Making a switch
With a switch, a single press and release on the button would turn the LED on, and another press and release would turn it off again.

Modify the
examples/button.rs
file so that it looks like this:extern crate rust_gpiozero; use rust_gpiozero::*; use std::thread::sleep; use std::time::Duration; fn main() { // Tell the Pi which GPIO pin you are using let mut led = LED::new(17); // Create a button which is attached to Pin 22 let button = Button::new(22); loop{ button.wait_for_press(); led.toggle(); sleep(Duration::from_secs(1)); } }
-
led.toggle();
switches the state of the LED from on to off, or off to on. Since this happens in a loop the LED will turn on and off each time the button is pressed.
