Small momentary push buttons can be difficult to understand, however if we look inside we can easily gain an understanding of their operation.
AS you can clearly see the black button portion pushes down on the thin disk. The center of the disk deforms and makes contact between the two contact strips. The disk also provides the spring return action and makes the clicking noise.
The LED ( Light Emitting Diode ) is found in just about every corner of our world that you can imagine.
The first consideration is that the LED is a Diode. Just like every other Diode current only flows in a single direction. When current flows in the correct direction the Diode emits Light.
The LED is comprised of a small chip inside of a clear or colored epoxy. It has two leads that allow connection to the Anode and the Cathode of the LED.
Using the popular HC-SR204 gives an easy to understand and implement look at how the Arduino can interact with the world around it.

Adding a Display to you project can add a tremendous amount of value and feature. This simple project shows the learner how to hook up the LCD using four wires and 2 for control.

The sequence of LEDs is a circuit that is specifically designed to teach a For Loop in Arduino Code. Secondarily, this project reinforces the purpose of a single Digital Pin.

The button sketch uses a single button press to light an LED. The button sketch introduces the concept of Input and Conditional execution of code.

From the source database open a new query and enter the following SQL: Replace mcp_user with the user you would like to migrate.
show create user 'mcp_user'@'localhost';
First, using the MySQL Workbench connect to the source that has your user.
It should look something like this:
Run the query and then you can copy the results by right clicking on the Result Grid row and selecting “Copy Row (Unquoted)”. Connect to your local MySQL instance and paste the result into a new query.
we will use the same command but for grants, again replacing “mcp_user” with your user.
show grants for 'mcp_user'@'localhost';
Perform the same copy action from above but this time select both rows before right clicking.
When you are finished you should have in your local host the following query, add a USE database; statement at the top, where database is the name of your schema.
USE mcp_wordpress; CREATE USER 'mcp_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH 'mysql_native_password' AS '*A4852D8F9BDEFAXXXDD35EED97BEXXXYYY4E5BA' REQUIRE NONE PASSWORD EXPIRE DEFAULT ACCOUNT UNLOCK; GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'mcp_user'@'localhost'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ONmcp_wordpress.* TO 'mcp_user'@'localhost'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ONmcp_wordpress.* TO 'mcp_user'@'localhost';
Run this SQL and the attempt to login and do a show database to confirm.
mysql -u mcp_user -p
The password will be the same as the originating database
show databases;
Only the one database should be listed in my case.
That’s it, seems like a lot but it only 7 or 8 lines of SQL. If you know how to execute the results of the SHOW GRANTS or the SHOW CREATE, statements or an easier method, leave a comment I would love to learn that without a lot of digging around.
