I have a test board that can output standard or medium resolution for monitor bench testing. Only one dip switch needs to be changed to change resolution. I have this board mounted on a wall, and would like to have an external switch on my bench that I can flip to change the resolution easily from my chair, rather than going over and flipping the little dip switch with a little screwdriver.
I assume that if I leave the normal dip switch off, I can connect wires to both sides that go to my external switch. But I'm wondering whether I have to worry about wire resistance (about 18" each way) or switch resistance when doing so...
