Hey guys, I'm looking for a rotary switch that has 5 positions. I'm basically using the rotary switch as so:http://s3.amazonaws.com/satisfaction-production/s3_images/101962/arduino-rotary-switch.png
I just want to confirm that it has to be a 1 polarize correct? What does it mean by deck? I'm asking because I'm having hard time finding the right one on digikey
Could you rephrase that 'polarize' statement, as I don't understand the question? If you mean are you only needing a single pole, five position rotary switch, that is correct. By the way in that drawing you show using external pull-up resistors. You really can save some trouble and not use them, but rather just enable the internal pull-up resistors for those specific pins, it's free and it works.

Sorry about that. Yes I meant 1 pole .
I am actually going to be using the Atmega328 chip on a PCB board, hence it setup this way.
Thanks for the reply everyone!
