I've had this really cool idea to create a games controller for my Raspberry Pi using the Adafruit Pi Cobbler so that I can use it for when I write games. I've created a project in a program called Fritzing which allows you to create virtual breadboards. Please can you take a look at this picture (https://www.dropbox.com/s/xdc2q71m0ab0w2y/fritzing.png) and tell me if there are any flaws and how to fix them. Thanks

I've taken the liberty of cutting the important bit:
I'm new to electronics. So which pins on the switch are positive and negative and where should each pin go? ThanksBurngate wrote:Switches in general don't have dedicated positive and negative ends - they're just bits of bent metal that touch when you press it, so either way round is good.
As for the rest, I've just written a 50-page document explaining in detail the whys and wherefores about connecting a switch to the Pi.
But since it's been done before, better than I can do, I've deleted it.
So go to http://www.themagpi.com/ and read all about it.
