# On Pin Pressed
2016-07-16 01:43:26 +02:00
Start an [event handler](/reference/event-handler) (part of the
program that will run when something happens, like when a button is
pressed). This handler works when you press pin `0`, `1`, or `2`
together with `GND`. When you are using this function in a web
2016-11-02 01:44:37 +01:00
browser, click the pins on the screen instead of the ones on the
@boardname@.
2016-07-16 01:43:26 +02:00
If you hold the `GND` pin with one hand and touch pin `0`, `1`, or `2`
with the other, a very small (safe) amount of electricity will flow
2016-11-02 01:44:37 +01:00
through your body and back into the @boardname@. This is called
2016-07-16 01:43:26 +02:00
**completing a circuit**. It's like you're a big wire!

```sig
input.onPinPressed(TouchPin.P0, () => {
})
```
## ~hint
This function works best when the @boardname@ is using batteries for power,
instead of the USB cable.

## Parameters
* ``name`` means the pin that is being pressed, either `P0`, `P1`, or `P2`

### Example: pin pressed counter
This program counts how many times you press the `P0` pin.
Every time you press the pin, the program shows the number of times on the screen.

```blocks
let count = 0
basic.showNumber(count, 100)
input.onPinPressed(TouchPin.P0, () => {
count = count + 1
basic.showNumber(count, 100)
})
```
