LiveSectional Schematics - LiveSectional Forum https://www.livesectional.com/community/ls-schematics/ LiveSectional Discussion Board en-US Thu, 23 Apr 2026 15:43:31 +0000 wpForo 60 Version 4 - Schematic Using Rotary Switch - No Displays https://www.livesectional.com/community/ls-schematics/ls-circuit-with-rotary-switch/ Sat, 30 May 2020 03:22:10 +0000 The rotary switch is used with Version 4 of LiveSectional only. This will allow user of the map to choose which weather product to view, METAR, TAF, MOS or Heat Map. In lieu of a rotary switch a web app has been developed that a user can use to control the map as well. 

Any rotary switch can be used with up to 12 positions on the switch. The switch should be a 'Non-Shorting' type, in other words, when the switch is moved from one position to the next, it should break contact with the current position before making contact with the second position. 

Even though there are only 4 data products to display, TAF's and MOS's can display up to 24 hours in advance. So the first position can be set to METARs, then the second set to 1 hour TAF, then the 3rd set to 2 hour TAF and so on.

This is a great addition to a LiveSectional map.

The Display is a SSD1306 128x64 I2C OLED. They are plentiful and inexpensive and provide a very clean, crisp display.

However it won't include features such as displays, dimming/brightening, Reboot/Power switching. But this is a great starting point.
