Software Debouncing An AnalogRead Voltage Divider Rotary Switch

i have single pole 9 position rotary switch 1k resistors between outputs, +5v first output, gnd last , com connected analog input of arduino mega.  works expect giving unique ranges each position.  however, expected, giving 1023 value in between slots.  have used software debounce on momentary , 2 , 3 position switches, bit perplexed how go have switch on in same position until turn new position.  delay not option me since attempting employ larger existing code many other switches.   i have tried following existing switch debounce routines, i'm novice programmer @ best , brain getting fried.  rather posting bad code, hoping tell me if should using same concept buttons or barking wrong tree.  here's normal button debounce routine i'm trying work off , getting nowhere: code: [select] long lastdebouncetime[] = {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}; long debouncedelay = 10; boolean lastbuttonstate[] = {high, high, high, high, high, high...

Different LED forward voltages depending on the order of the limiting resistor

hi all, i'm testing vf of red led these 2 simple circuits: circuit (a) 5v----|r|---->led----gnd circuit (b) 5v---->led----|r|----gnd r=150 ohm. i use analog input 1 probe between led , resistor measure voltage drop. assuming red led has 2v of vf, 150 ohm resistor should limit current @ 20ma. according this, analog input should read 3v in circuit (a) , 2v in circuit (b), that's not case. 3v in circuit (a), 4.5v in circuit (b), indicating vf of 0.5v led (?!). ¿what missing? normal. i'ts way i'm measuring vf (using analog input) it's wrong? thanks!! i don't know you're doing wrong because your "theory" correct.    kirchhoff's laws the voltages have sum-up, , in case voltages must sum 5v  (and ohm's law, it's law of nature). quote i 3v in circuit (a), 4.5v in circuit (b), indicating vf of 0.5v led. but, led on , same brightness, know there's still 2v across it, right? quote ¿what miss...
