#168594 - External resistors for speed or reading slower
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Note that all signals always have some form of bandwidth limitation.

The question here is how fast you must be able to read your switch. You can save money and use weak internal pull-up if you adapt the reading speed.

In some cases, it is possible to save cost and board space by removing pull up/down or series resistors. In some other situations, it isn't, because the resistors are needed to reduce the noise by reducing the bandwidth of a signal, or to make the signal low-impedive enough that external noise will not create false readings.

dip-switch matrix trouble            01/01/70 00:00      
   Need more information            01/01/70 00:00      
      It's olá ...            01/01/70 00:00      
   ghosting?            01/01/70 00:00      
      Looks like ghosting            01/01/70 00:00      
         Do you have two spare pins?            01/01/70 00:00      
   Please tell us how you've wired your matrix            01/01/70 00:00      
   My working matrix schematic*            01/01/70 00:00      
      It looks OK, but...            01/01/70 00:00      
         maybe, maybe not            01/01/70 00:00      
            thats true            01/01/70 00:00      
               External resistors for speed or reading slower            01/01/70 00:00      
                  noise, yes - but            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Different use of resistors            01/01/70 00:00      
                        I could be mean            01/01/70 00:00      
                           Was actually on topic ;)            01/01/70 00:00      
                              being off-topic or not...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 You need to show us the schematic and more            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    he did            01/01/70 00:00      
                                       Not quite enough            01/01/70 00:00      
                                          not much code to show            01/01/70 00:00      
      =) Thanks for the +1 Informative =)            01/01/70 00:00
