Re: 3 Way Switches on Driver Station
We're using an analog port for three way switches but that's just because we're using most of the digital inputs already.

To use analog ports, the analog input line would need two resistors. The analog line connects to the center pole of the switch with two equal resistors, one pulling it up and one pulling it down.

What most normal people do is connect the center pole of the switch to ground and then connect the poles on either side to two digital inputs.
