Try that topic specifically the post by Alan. . . 16 positions is a lot . . That would be a lot of resisters. . .
Ok, so I see this:
Code:
pin 1 ----+---- switch 1 ----+---- /\/\/\/ ----+---- /\/\/\/ ---- pin 11
          |                  |       20 k      |       33 k
          +---- /\/\/\/ -----+---- switch 2 ---|
                 10 k
Looks perfectly feasible. So just to make sure I understand: I just keep increasing the resistance as I go from switch to switch? How high is the max?

Thanks,
- Erik
