Experiment 38: Capturing Button Debounce Signals

Objective: Observe and analyze the bounce effect of mechanical buttons.

Steps:

  1. Connect a button to a digital input pin on a microcontroller and monitor it using a logic analyzer.
  2. Press and release the button while capturing the output signal.
  3. Analyze the signal for bouncing effects and evaluate debounce techniques (e.g., hardware or software).

Expected Outcome:

Visualize and understand the bounce behavior of buttons and how to mitigate it.
