General Mach Discussion / Re: Home Switch Staying Active
« on: December 06, 2011, 02:09:42 AM »
Hi Jake,
It is more usual to have the switches wired in ‘series’ but no worries (mine are wired in parallel and I always seem to do everything differently to everyone else).
The ‘pull-up’ resistors are already mounted on the C10 board so assuming your switches are ‘wired in parallel’ then the C10 jumper (X5) need to be set for ‘pull-up’ (2-3) and your switches need to be wired to their ‘normally open’ contacts and Mach configured for ‘active low’ on the switch input pin#. Your actual switches will connect between the relevant input pin# and GND.
Hope this explains it.
