Microswitches that light up when pushed?

Now you made me open up my CP to test my flat wrong theory.

cholin:
Well, microchips need at least 3.3 volts to accept a signal as HIGH, so placing a load might cause some problems with that.  It might also use current that the line doesnt supply, or shouldnt, so that would cause a problem... considerring theyre only supposed to put out 20mA.

ScottMcC:
I like your idea cholin of having the joystick single lights via movement.  I'm going to admint most of the diagrams you guys are drawing are beyond me with out a eletronics book but I am getting the impression that it is possible and that it has been done before.

ShinAce:
Most 'gates' are off between 0 and 1.5, then on from 2 to 5.

The problem with saying it works is that it won't with all colors, or resistors, or combinations, or reliability. To do so is to ask for trouble or wasted time. Just use the alternate, parallel wiring; it works just fine.
