Hi, I'm beginning with Arduino, and loving it!
I'm looking for some kind of a different push button, where I can alter his physical state (up or down) not pressing it, but with Arduino.
In the end, I don't really need a button, but something that had two physical states that can be discerned by tact, and controlled with Arduino.
Is there something like that? Thanks for helping.

What does that mean? Is it like a pin solenoid that you can feel with a fingertip whether up or down?

Capsense? As your finger gets close arduino sees it?

Wow, that was fast! Really thanks for the help.
The aim of that is to deal with blind and impaired vision people, so it's like LED, but for blind 
Hot/cold is an option, but I would like to work with something more like up/down.

I think this is it! Is it easy to work with then in Arduino?

Then a flashlight style button would work..
Push in the button (on)
Push in the button again (off)
?

When pressed these buttons latch keeping it in the on state until you press the button again... esp made for feeling (it's dark when youuse one)

Hi all! Really thanks for the replies. The pin solenoid is perfect to me.
I have some doubts about how to deal with them, and created a new thread here: 6 Mini Solenoids 5V - Project Guidance - Arduino Forum
Thanks!
