Connecting toggle switch to Arduino Uno

Question

I am struggling to make a cockpit for my home-made flight simulation.

How can I connect this toggle switch to an Arduino Uno:

Tries:

I connected one end to "Ground" another to "VCC" and middle one to any analog pin. But it turns off the Arduino.

Please help me to connect this switch correctly.

• jsotola: it is a switch, similar to a pushbutton ... have you searched the web for tutorials?
• Ibnelaiq: Yes but nothing works. Please help me if it can be connected as similar to pushbuton and I want to get it's state 0 or 1
• BeB00: You are likely connecting the switch incorrectly, so the switch is connecting vcc directly to ground
• jsotola: nothing works is a meaningless description of a problem ... please update your post with a description of how you connected the switch, the code that you used, what you expected to happen and what actually did happen
• Transistor: Show a photo. You don't need an analog input. It's on/off so a digital input is all that is required. Again, describe what exactly happens when you toggle the switch.

#define switch 3
void setup(){
 pinMode(switch, INPUT_PULLUP);
}
void loop(){
 if(switch == LOW){
 do this;
 } else {
 do that;
 }
}

Edit:

• Ibnelaiq: please tell me how I connect these 3 legs of toggle switch. I want the 0 or 1 from it
• ElectronSurf: @AhmedAli see the edit.
• Ibnelaiq: Thanks for helping
• Ibnelaiq: and will I have to connect 3 leg to vcc or not
• ElectronSurf: No, don't connect the third leg to anything.
