You shouldn't have to touch the code to get the switch to work. It should work by default. Make sure your switch connects 5 to ground in one position, 8 to ground in another, and doesn't connect anything in regular mode. For example, on a 3 state switch, you'd have 5 on the top, 8 on the bottom, and ground on the middle. Use a meter to make sure you switch is working too.

Oh and double check the pinout. I fried the OI last year setting up the atonomous switch.
