Tim, I'm glad there's at least one other person here that can comprehend what I'm saying. Thank you very much. I believe I've now ruled that out as a possibility But we've still got our external circuit (with rotary switch, of course). To make the rotary switch work, just connect it to ground like the rules state... I see no conflict or need for breakers, etc, as FotoPlasma suggested.

Greg,

Not the E-Stop but the Robot Reset button on the Operator Interface.

Ryan,

You are 100% correct, Rotary switch, Toggle switch or Limit switch they are all 1's and 0's to PBasic.

Sorry. I didn't read carefully, and I got confused by Ryan's earlier reference to another thread concerning the e-stop button.

One of the problems I foresee is that for the digital inputs on the RC, we're warned not to apply any voltage to the switch pins, and to just ground them to return 1. "All additional electronics must draw power from a 20A circuit breaker," (The_Robot.pdf, page 13, emphasis added by me).
the rules say that you must have "All additional electronics must draw power from a 20A circuit breaker," but if you look above, the limit switch is essentially the same as a rotary switch except the rotary switch has more possibilities for outputs. i see this as many limit switches in one module. therefore, there would be no need to hook it up to a fuse.
