Pull Up Your Pins: How to Size Pull-up Resistors (a bit necessary #Theory!) | #Arduino #Coding #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces #Electronics | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

One of the first lessons many people learn when starting off learning practical, hands-on electronics is the need for pull-up resistors. Whether to prevent floating I/O pins on a microcontroller or interfacing two circuits via an open-drain design; pull-up resistors are an often necessary but rarely appreciated component. So why do we use pull-up resistors, can’t we just connect a wire to the Vcc supply of our device? What size resistor should you use?
