Les They look very similar to the C&K ones that I have, which have an indexable stop.

Kercheiz Posted January 23, 2022 Author Share Posted January 23, 2022 I just finished my little project, and these selectors saved it. With 6x 12-pos selectors, it would have been 72 inputs and 78 wires, to be added to 5 encoders, 7 axis, and a bunch of levers and buttons. Now I'm thinking, this could be used for 3-pos ON-ON-ON switches as well, with the 1k resistors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without knowing exactly how the code works, it might give odd results, or not work at all, with just 3 or 4 resistors. You might have to add extra resistance at one end to fool the processor and make the 3 positions the first or last 3 of 12. It could be worth experimenting.

lesthegrngo Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Or you could use four ON-ON-ON switches wired in series with the resistors? Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les That wouldn't give four independent outputs, though. As I understand it, each of those switches can only select between one of 12 outputs.

I think on the three first positions the board just sees 1kOhm, 2kOhm, 3kOhms 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
