Melanie,

I am sorry for my newby-ness (new word). I am not an Electrical Engineer just a highschool student working on a summer project.

Right now i have the center of the switch going to ground. Then the sides of the switch going through a 10k ohm resistor, then to PORTB.5 and PORTB.7 respectively. I also have a 5 volt bus. Does anything have to be connected to it? Like a jumper from PORTB.5|7 to 5 volt as well?
