Functionality

In order to read the switches, the user needs to read the corresponding digital input pin. A value of 1 indicates the
switch as being on (high) or 0 indicates the switch as being off (low).
val = PORTFbits.RF3;
val = PORTFbits.RF5;
val = PORTFbits.RF4;
val = PORTDbits.RD15; // read SW3
val = PORTDbits.RD14; // read SW4
val = PORTBbits.RB11; // read SW5
val = PORTBbits.RB10; // read SW6
val = PORTBbits.RB9;
Library functions for using the switches are contained in the Basys MX3 library pack, SWT library; however, the
user can easily use the switches without the SWT library, as presented above.

User Buttons

There are five buttons on the board, labeled BTNU, BTNL, BTNC, BTNR, BTND both on the board and in the
schematic, attached to five digital I/O pins of PIC32. Reading the buttons is done by basic access to an input I/O
pin. Read more details in Digital Inputs and Outputs
Figure 5.1 shows the way the buttons are electrically connected on the Basys MX3.
