Potentiometer 5 or 6 detents

[Gary Bonner]

Here is a photo of our switch from last year, which was connected to the RC. It’s a six position switch with five 22k resistors (100k / (# positions - 1) = 20k, 22k was the closest we could find at Radio Shack). The switch positions were then 0k, 22k, 44k, 66k, 88k, & 110k. This would give analog values of about 0, 205, 410, 615, 820, and 1024. In the autonomous code, we looked for a range of 205, centered on each of those values.

void User_Autonomous_Code(void)
{
		.
		.
		.

	switch (((Get_Analog_Value( rc_ana_in01 )+100)/205)+1)	//read autonomous switch
	{  
		case 1:	//switch position 1 
	
			while (autonomous_mode)   /* DO NOT CHANGE! */
			{
				if (statusflag.NEW_SPI_DATA)      /* 26.2ms loop area */
				{
					Getdata(&rxdata);   /* DO NOT DELETE, or you will be stuck here forever! */

					/* Add your own autonomous code here. */
					
					Putdata(&txdata);   /* DO NOT DELETE, or you will get no PWM outputs! */
				}
			}
			break; //end of case 1
	
		case 2:	//switch position 2
	
			.
			.
			.

		default:
		{
			// something's wrong - do nothing
		}
	}  //switch
}  //User_Autonomous_Code
