Bump Sensor

Bump sensors are sensors that pull high on a logic pin (commonly found on a Microcontroller) when pressed. They are similar to buttons, but are useful for sensing a wall or an object.



= Club Sensor = The club has purchased several standard bump sensors commonly found within the industry. These sensors can be connected to your deve in the following way:


 * The left-most pin, closest to the sensor joint, connects to the digital input pin
 * The middle pin connects to +5V power, but needs a resistor (any resister, but 1k Ohm works fine)
 * The right-most pin, furthest from the sensor joint, connects to ground

You can read if the button is pressed or not by using the Arduino readDigital(pin_number) function, and testing if it returns "HIGH" for pressed and "LOW" for no-press.
