// import sensor aktor library for pin mapping
#include <SensorAktor.h>
// this block is executed one time when programm starts
void setup(){
// set pin modes
pinMode(led1,OUTPUT);
pinMode(led2,OUTPUT);
pinMode(led3,OUTPUT);
pinMode(switch1,INPUT);
pinMode(switch2,INPUT);
pinMode(switch3,INPUT);
// turn on pullup resistors for switch buttons
digitalWrite(switch1, HIGH);
digitalWrite(switch2, HIGH);
digitalWrite(switch3, HIGH);
}
// this block is executed in a loop after setup is called one time
void loop(){
// using switch buttons to turn LEDs on/off
digitalWrite(led1,digitalRead(switch1));
digitalWrite(led2,digitalRead(switch2));
digitalWrite(led3,digitalRead(switch3));
}
To use the switch buttons you have to turn on the pullup resistors for these pins.
pinMode(switch1,INPUT); pinMode(switch2,INPUT); pinMode(switch3,INPUT); // turn on pullup resistors for switch buttons digitalWrite(switch1, HIGH); digitalWrite(switch2, HIGH); digitalWrite(switch3, HIGH);

Files needed
Since Arduino 0015 there are some problems with the old “SensorAktor.h” file.
Use this one instead.
