!! How do I debounce a switch? This is a [recipe] for how to debounce an analog ([hardware]) [switch]. * __Author:__ [Murray] !! Description When you flip a [switch|Switches] you change the __state__ of something, either from Vcc (positive voltage, logic ''one'') to ground (zero voltage, logic ''zero''), or from ground (zero voltage, logic ''zero'') to Vcc (positive voltage, logic ''one''). Sometimes this is used to turn on or off the power (like turn on or off the lights in a room), sometimes the state of the switch is sensed by a circuit and used to alter the state in a software program. A switch might be used on the bumper of a robot to tell if the robot has hit an obstacle. !! How to Debounce a Switch [{Tag ToDo}] ... !!
