DipSwitch reads same value for two different settings

[GoogleCodeExporter]

(from Trac issue #85 by kpratt)

Observed Behavior: '/dipswitch/value' returns 220 for two different settings of 
the dipswitch.

Expected Behavior: Should return 192 in one state and 220 in second state.

Steps to recreate:

--Set bits 7 and 8 high on dipswitch

--Read value using /dipswitch/value in mchelper

--Returns 220 as value (128 + 64 should be 192)

--Set bits 3,4,5 high

--Read value using /dipswitch/value in mchelper

--Returns 220 as value (This is correct: 128 + 64 + 16 + 8 + 4 = 220)

Note: The dipswitch contacts on the back of the board read correctly with a 
multi-meter: ie bits 
set on read 0.0V (connected), and bits set off read 3.258V (not connected), 
indicating this may be 
a firmware issue, rather than a hardware problem.

Repeatability: 100%

System Details: /system/version Heavy 1.5.1 MCHelper Version 2.2.0 (Windows XP)

I'm not using the dipswitch in any of my projects, so it's not a big issue for 
me, but if there is 
anything I can do to help debug or track this down for other people, just let 
me know.

Neglected to specify that the first tests were all on the USB connection. 
Checking again, the 
dipswitch values read correctly when accessing the board with an ethernet 
connection, but 
display the original error when using USB. This behavior is seen on both XP and 
OS X 10.5.
