Vehicle broke down, looks like tonight may be a fine night to figure out how these pesky keypads work…
I recently had some fun playing with the Rotary DIP Switch – 16 Position from Sparkfun, and my Arduino.
BOM:
- Resistor 10k Ohm QTY:4
- Arduino Uno QTY:1 (I’m using a Duemilanove- They’re nearly identical)
- Jumper Wires QTY:10
- Switch QTY:1
I use Sparkfun to acquire most of my pieces/parts. They might be a little more expensive than larger suppliers like Digikey, but their part descriptions and comment sections help people like me to find what I’m looking for not to mention how to use them properly. That being said, I do use Digikey for anything else I may need, or items I use in bulk, if I can find the time to navigate that god-awful website…

About this ‘blog’: It will be used mainly for archival purposes. It will be more of a reminder of where I left off in my experiments, as my work/social life interrupt them. I’m leaving it publicly viewable in the hopes that it can help someone else, or perhaps I could get help myself as I am very, very new to this. For anyone wishing to follow this blog, please do, but don’t expect much in the way of new posts.
