It has a nice snappy feel, and returns to the center\/un-pressed position immediately when it is released. By monitoring the input state of five pins, it’s easy for any Parallax microcontroller to detect whether the switch is in the up, down, left, right, or pressed position. It is possible for more than one position to make contact at a time, such as pressed+right, left+down, or pressed+right+down, for a total of 18 output states.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan class=\"forte\"\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides 18 input states for your project\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo 4-pin SIP headers are perfect for bread-board friendly projects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo external circuitry required for easy interfacing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimple communication with any microcontroller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-position selection (i.e. pressed+right, left+down or pressed+right+down)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan class=\"forte\"\u003eApplication Ideas:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVideo game input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRobot control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMenu selection for emdedded projects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"ui-accordion-header ui-helper-reset ui-state-active ui-corner-top\" role=\"tab\"\u003e5-Position Switch Details:\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"details\" class=\"tabbed details ui-accordion-content ui-helper-reset ui-widget-content ui-corner-bottom ui-accordion-content-active\" role=\"tabpanel\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-tech\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 kΩ pull-up resistor included on each positional pin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower requirements: Supply voltage = output signal voltage.
