[Acetronics2]

Wow ...

Never heard of that !!! ... in 40 Years of electronics ...

your switch might be activated at a moment, but which ... Could you explain further what you want to do ???

Its for a "Knight Rider" project.. .specificaly the "Surveilance Mode" box. Basicly there is one switch... you push it in and it turns unit on or off. You rotate it and it will move the LED's in responce to the movement. I might just say heck with that function and just go with a push on push off. I think the other function was only used in one episode if that. The rest of the time it just sat there ramping the bargraph up and down. It would be nice if I could find it... lord knows It took an act of congress to get the duplicate bargraph display... But I got an exact replacement part... Im probably better off focusing on developing the rest of the dash for now.

Knightrider?
Wasn't that on television just before dirt was invented? I really doubt they used PICs to do that, I would bet they used an Lm3914 bargraph display driver and just ramped up the voltage to light the procession of LEDs.

Thanks a lot Joe !!!!!

Do you realise how old that statement makes me feel ?

I was in my twenties when Knight rider was on first TV. As if making me feel old isnt bad enough, I have that bloody theme tune running through my head now

Hi Keith,

The bloody theme is still around! Enjoy!

P.S. Before you click the above link, cover the PC keyboard with plastic wrap.

If your not commited to a POT, you could use an encoder with a switch to do essentially the same thing (but you would not have the "stops" that a POT has). I love to use these for input devices. One knob is all you need! However, if you have never used an encoder with a PIC there is a bit of learning curve to get them working well. Worth the effort, though (IMO), and lots of resources on the forum/net to learn from.

Here are some from Digi-Key. More options to choose from on other pages as well.
