tago Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 Hi, i want to add a sustain panel to my NG based keyboard controller. Which switch type is the best? Normally closed or normally open? (i somehow think normally open would be better, because the circuit is only closed on press = less energy consumption) What would be the best way to connect them? Via analog or digital input? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally closed or normally open? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tago Posted February 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 Here is some talk about open vs closed: https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=695264.0 In the second post someone says: "One disadvantage of a N/C is that with a pullup, as most switches spend the majority of their time in the un-pressed state, you will have increase current consumption." If this is correct i'd get a normally open pedal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
