Paragon mini dip switch orientation

[Matt117]

Hey just building a paragon mini,
Curious which side my switches “on” should be on?
Does on go to the side that the white is on the pcb or the mostly black part?

Thanks

The is so much! I’ll face on the other way.
Is that a standard method to show off with switches?

Well, that simply shows the orientation of off. Get your multimeter out and do a continuity check on the pins to determine what is on and off.

DIP switches are just SPST switches and are agnostic to orientation. You can install it either way. The connection will be made when you switch it to “ON” regardless of orientation.
