// If your dip switch will gave you a HIGH(1) value when close, then we need to create the sw
// object with an extra parameter: 
// Hotboards_switches dip_sw( PA_6 , PA_7 , PB_6 , PC_7 , PA_9 , PA_8 , PB_10 , PB_4 , 1 );
// In any case the functions will return a HIGH(1) value any time the sw is closed
