I've managed to get myself thoroughly confused now.
Given the following diagram for a dip switch, which way is up / on?
Do you read the above as:
- 1 = On
- 2,3,4 = Off
or as:
- 1 = Off
- 2,3,4 = On

\$\begingroup\$ read both ways until further information reveals the correct choice ... if further info is unavailable then choose 1 is OFF \$\endgroup\$– jsotolaSep 26, 2021 at 16:36

The small white square within the black opening is the part of the switch you slide, so white upward is on.
1 is off. 2,3,4 is on.
I have also seen the black and white used in the opposite way, where the small square is black in a white opening.

\$\begingroup\$ The first part would be an answer... if only you did not say exact opposite in the next sentence. As it is, it basically means "I have no idea" \$\endgroup\$– MapleSep 26, 2021 at 15:55

\$\begingroup\$ @Maple. I was saying that the black/white isn’t important, it is the small square that indicates the position of the switch. \$\endgroup\$ Sep 26, 2021 at 19:38
