Just take a visit at the Arduino forum. http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1265334220 Yeah there is. Just take a visit at the Arduino forum.

Standard resistors vary within 5% out of the box, and also are affected by temperature. You could do it reliably by dividing up the 9 switches among 3 analog input pins, I guess. Or, hardcode the address in the software and put a sticker with the address on the unit. :) Clever idea, but AnalogRead() has 1024 values, so you would have to get within +/-5mV = .1% to get an accurate reading.

I think it is really helpful to easily tell from the switch positions the address of the DMX device itself and that would be a way to do the addressing only using one analog input pin.
