a1ronzo @ learn.sparkfun.com explains us the importance of pull-up resistors and when and why they are used in digital circuits.
Pull-up resistors are very common when using microcontrollers (MCUs) or any digital logic device. This tutorial will explain when and where to use pull-up resistors, then we will do a simple calculation to show why pull-ups are important.
