v7
When working with multi-
media applications it is 
far more intuitive to use a 
single joystick than several 
dierent  push  buttons  that 
are more far apart. This is 
more natural for users and they 
can browse through on-screen 
menus, or even play games much 
easier. EasyPIC Fusion
™
 v7 features 
navigation switch with ve dierent 
positions:  Up, Down, Left, Right and 
Center. Each of those acts as a button, 
and is connected to one of the following 
microcontrollers pins: RA4, RA5, RA6, RA7, RA1 
(respectively). Before using the navigation switch, it 
is necessary to pull-up mentioned microcontroller pins 
using tri-state DIP switches located in I/O groups. After pressing 
the navigation switch in desired direction, associated microcontroller pins 
are connected to GND, which can be detected in user software.
