If you're ever in Central Florida, this place is worth a visit. A lot of junk from NASA, due to the location-- when I was kid, they had a used spacesuit hanging in a corner. It's long gone, but the buckets of electronics covering every inch remain.

I'm in Orlando for the holidays, so Saturday I decided to check out the local makerspace, FamiLab. Met some great makers who showed me the space and some awesome projects. Also learned that FamiLab stands for Four A.M. Lab, not Family-Lab. Big difference!
Playing around with the clamshell stompbox, I used two sketches included in the Arduino examples to turn it into a functioning switch.
To make a momentary push-button switch, I used the sketch, “IfStatementConditional”, found in the “Control” examples.
This sketch was meant for a potentiometer, so I treated the clamshell stompbox as one half of the potentiometer, and used a fixed resistor for the other half.
