Wiring Connection & Layout Guide
Integrating the 8 Position DIP Switch is straightforward. The pins are spaced 7.62mm apart between rows. For standard logic, connect one row of the 8 Position DIP Switch to Ground (GND) and the other to your microcontroller’s digital pins. We recommend using 10kΩ pull-up resistors with the 8 Position DIP Switch to ensure stable signal reading and avoid floating logic states.
