  This went well. I have both buttons working as desired, thanks.

  Thank you very much, Gordon.

  I'm looking forward to playing with the Puck and experimenting with this idea!

  Hi Gordon,

  That's great, thank you for the information. I have just purchased a Puck. I will go with the non-solder option for the proof of concept.

  You just need two wires per button - to make it easy put one on 3V and the other on a signal wire

  So if I were to attach a single button to the Puck, I could attach one wire to D1, and one wire to 3V. If I wanted to attach a second button, which holes could I use? It appears that there is only one 3V on the Puck.

  I've had a look into buying some wire. I can see that I need stranded wire, like these. Which AWG wire size is most suitable for the small holes on the Puck?

  Thanks
  RS

  Hello,

  I would like to attach multiple external buttons to a Puck. I want to do this so that I can send different commands via Bluetooth to an iPhone that the Puck is connected to. I'm aware that the Puck has a button underneath the silicone, however my use-case involves the buttons being distanced from the Puck itself, so I need some buttons wired into the Puck.

  I of course need a Puck and some buttons. However, I don't know what other equipment I need to wire it all up.

  What else do I need? Will I need a soldering iron?

  I would like to use a Puck because it is powered by a small battery. If there is an alternate device that is powered by a small battery, and can also have external buttons connected, then I am open to using that, if its more appropriate.

  I have no experience with hardware projects, but I am absolutely willing to learn.

  Thanks
  RS
