The title made it sound like it's something amazing and it is (for me) but will probably bore most of you. After desperately trying I have finally managed to get toggle switches to work with Jim's Multi program. Break through for me!

Fantastic! For stability, I would recommend a pull-down resistor (10K ohm) from gnd to the input pin; this will prevent interference from causing the the pin to accidentally alternate between "HIGH" or "LOW" while the switch is in the open state. Furthermore, I would recommend a protection resistor from the input to the switch leg. The protection resistor should be equal or less than the pull-down resistor.
Congratulation bro =)! I know how you are feeling. Keep going and don't stop!
So a resistor from GND to the input pin - could this be done on the bottom of the toggle switch?Quote:

Thank you very much!Quote:

Why not to use built-in pull-up? Just use HIGH state as OFF and vise-versa. And no external resistor required in that case.
Ah! I didn't know it could be controlled through coding. Thank you for the valuable tip!
