Is there some way to make an on/off switch using a momentary push button? I think the buttons feel more natural. They are smaller too. Just wonderin'...

Our friends at Spark Fun took care of it.

If you would want to make it yourself

You could make a start-stop schematic with two pushbuttons and a transistor. Or one with just one pusbutton, a PIC(axe) and a transistor. Code would be (assuming a picaxe):

b0=0
do
If pin1=1 then
b0=b0+1
Endif
If b0//2=0 then
high 1
Else
low 1
endif
while 1

Actually, it’s from Pololu,

Damn

I just noticed that my code (which I whilst alsmost sleeping at night) could be a lot easier:

do
if pin1=1 then
if output1=1 then
low 1
else
high 1
endif
endif
while 1
