Wow, I got bit pretty hard on a switch matrix I designed. I just threw the thing together, row and column, and of course, once three switches are on everything goes to hell.
The application is not a keyboard, I need to several dip switches (96 switches in all), and any combination of the switches may be on or off.
My eyes are bugging out trying to trace through the different combinations. Do I need a diode for each switch, or just for the rows and columns?
Thanks,
Mike
