Potentiometer 5 or 6 detents

I've never liked the pressure pads. This just confirms my suspicions: Pressure pads hate robots. It must be some inferiority complex or something. - Andy A. [more]

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
