2 x arcade style performance buttons which can be used output 5V gates, or to pass

You can use Asteroids in two different ways:

1. Gate generator using the two outputs. A 5V gate will be output when the relevant

button in pressed.

2. Momentary manual actuator. Whatever is present at the relevant input will be

output when the button is pressed.

You will notice that all of the components listed below are also hyperlinks to where I buy

each specific part from. You can also use the hyperlinks to find out more about what each

component looks like. If you want to know even more,
