Can Arduino nano work with 3-way switches?

Can a Arduino nano support 3-way switches, if so, what part would it be (D1-D13, etc.)
Also can nano boards support a selector knob if so would it be (A1-A5, etc.)

Like the kind used in house wiring? Technically those are "single throw, double pole".

There's no point with a microcontroller because there are only two states. ...Unless it has a center-off position. In that case you can ground the common (center) position and connect the other two connections to two different digital inputs. Enable the built-in pull-up resistors and you have 3 states/conditions. (Both high when the switch is in the center, or one other the other inputs pulled low.)

@DVDdoug So i would use 1 slot on the nano and just have 2 positives? how would that work

Could i also use the analog plugs for a selector knob

The switches are like the ones in planes

No

Yes

I don't known about airplanes switches. :wink:

alr thx, that should work! Thanks alot!

Does this mean "low-medium-high" as with a light bulb?

Rotary encoder?
