enum DOWN (=4) definition had compile conflicts with cmath.h, which apparently has a #define something 4. This would cause problems when using the DOWN tag. Just made values negative to hopefully avoid the evil #define errors;

Who changed what in which revision?

electromotivated 0:0388385d4480 7 Breakout Board Mod: Remove the 10k pull- up resistors. This will make
electromotivated 0:0388385d4480 8 the board a basic breakout for the 5-Way switch.
electromotivated 0:0388385d4480 9 The Vcc pin (+) can be clipped or left unimplented
electromotivated 0:0388385d4480 10 (i.e. no connect).

electromotivated 0:0388385d4480 31 Theory of Operation: Each switch output pin is connected to one terminal of
electromotivated 0:0388385d4480 32 a resistor (each of different value). The other terminal
electromotivated 0:0388385d4480 33 is connected to a single analog in pin on the mBed.
electromotivated 0:0388385d4480 34 The mBed analog pin is also connected to a 10k resistor
electromotivated 0:0388385d4480 35 running to ground. This makes a network of seperate
electromotivated 0:0388385d4480 36 voltage dividers, between each switches output pin
electromotivated 0:0388385d4480 37 resistor and the single 10k resistor from the mBed
electromotivated 0:0388385d4480 38 analog in pin to ground. Since only one position can
electromotivated 0:0388385d4480 39 be active at a time only one voltage divider voltage
electromotivated 0:0388385d4480 40 is read by the mBed. Thus each switch position produces
electromotivated 0:0388385d4480 41 a unique voltage, at the analog in pin of the mBed,
electromotivated 0:0388385d4480 42 when active.
electromotivated 0:0388385d4480 43
electromotivated 0:0388385d4480 44 NOTE: For proper operation resistor values should be as close as POSSIBLE
electromotivated 0:0388385d4480 45 to those shown in the circuit setup diagram!
