In my professional life, I'm a development manager for a Telecoms company in the UK. I manage a team of 4 developers and we build IVR based applications.

Outside of that, I'm a member of a carnival club in Somerset (UK)... every year in November we have carnival processions of huge illuminated carnival floats running off a 800KVA generator with around 11,000 GLS light bulbs on it drawing around 2200amps.... and it's my job to wire the damn thing up!!

comment Multiplexing Inputs on a microcontroller
Given that the 4 switches effectively make up a 4-bit binary number, would this give enough resolution (with 1% resistor tolerance) to allow me to reliably detect 16 different switch combinations?

Interesting answer, I'd never have though of doing it this way. The programming might be a little tricky though, but thanks for your answer.

Thanks for your answer, but I prefer the charlieplexing method, mainly because I already have the diodes and I'd have to order new parts to do this.

This is great, exactly what I was after... I've heard of charlieplexing with LED's but didn't think about using the same method for switches as well. Thanks.
