  Prints when the lever is hit. OUT = HIGH while pressed.
  Use it as a bumper or end-stop.

    GND  -> GND
    VCC  -> 3V3

#define OUT_PIN  4

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);

}

int last = -1;   // last state we printed (-1 = nothing yet)

void loop() {
  int s = digitalRead(OUT_PIN);
  if (s != last) {             // only print when something changes
    Serial.println(s == HIGH ? "1  hit!" : "0  released");
