Use DIP Switch To Set Arduino Device Net ID And Node ID for Wireless Communication

  To use one remote control to many switch radio frequency wireless power supply sockets, each one must has its unique ID to identify itself and act according commands received from the remote control.
  In the example sketch, A2-A4 A1-A3 are set to 1, 0, 1; D2-D9 are set to 0,0,0,0,1,0,1,0. So the net ID is calculated as 1*4+0*2+1*1=5; node ID is calculated as 0*128+0*64+0*32+0*16+1*8+0*4+1*2+0*1=10.

  Use the same DIP setting above, the output will be :
Net ID: 5
Node ID1: 0
Node ID2:10

// Released by abocanegra on Dec. 11, 2009 using 4 pins, "DIP Switch 8 Position to Address Sensor" in Arduino Forum
// Modified by Befun Hung on Jul. 30, 2014 to use 
// 3 analog pins(A1-A3) to set net ID 
// 8 digital pins(D2-D9) to set Node ID by using 10K pull-up resistors.
// Totally 8x256=2,048 devices can be used for wireless communication
// For practical use 8x10=80 devices can be controlled using digital key of 3x4 telephone keypad
// Modified by Befun Hung on Nov. 12, 2014 to use
// 4 digital pins(D2-D5) to set node ID1 and
// 4 digital pins(D6-D9) to set node ID2 by using 10K pull-up resistors.
// Totally 8x16x16=2,048 devices can be used for wireless communication
