8 Way Slide Switch 2.54mm Pitch (Pack of 2) DocumentationOverviewThe 8 Way Slide Switch 2.54mm Pitch is a compact, surface-mount slide switch with 8 independent channels, each with a typical ON/OFF operation. This component is ideal for IoT projects that require multiple switch inputs, such as robotics, automation, and interactive installations. The switch features a 2.54mm pitch, making it compatible with standard breadboards and PCBs.PinoutThe 8 Way Slide Switch has 16 pins, arranged in two rows of 8 pins each. The pinout is as follows:| Pin | Function |
| --- | --- |
| 1-8 | Switch 1-8 Common Pins (CONNECTED to pin 9-16 when switch is ON) |
| 9-16 | Switch 1-8 Normally Open Pins (DISCONNECTED from pin 1-8 when switch is OFF) |Example 1: Basic Switch Control with ArduinoIn this example, we'll use the 8 Way Slide Switch to control 8 individual LEDs connected to an Arduino board.Hardware Requirements:8 Way Slide Switch 2.54mm Pitch

Python 3.xCode:
```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time# Set up GPIO mode and pin numbering
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)# Define switch and debounce constants
SWITCH_PIN = 17
DEBOUNCE_TIME = 50 # milliseconds# Initialize switch pin as input
GPIO.setup(SWITCH_PIN, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_UP)while True:
# Read switch state
switch_state = GPIO.input(SWITCH_PIN)
# Debounce logic
if switch_state == GPIO.HIGH:
start_time = time.time()
while GPIO.input(SWITCH_PIN) == GPIO.HIGH:
if time.time() - start_time > DEBOUNCE_TIME / 1000:
print("Switch has been turned ON")
break
time.sleep(0.01)
else:
print("Switch has been turned OFF")
# Wait for a short period to avoid excessive polling
time.sleep(0.01)
