Personally I like having the ability to switch the program at the last minute from the OI. We normally do a binary selector of some sort mounted on our controls.

Re: Potentiometer 5 or 6 detents

Here's a quick way to turn a DP6T switch into a 6-position binary encoder that only needs three pins:

Code:

POS   A   B   C

1     0   0   0

2     1   0   0

3     0   1   0

4     1   1   0

5     0   0   1

6     1   0   1
