This is a request for a generic rotary switch model. I'm simulating switch logic circuits published in the 1950s for the GENIAC and BRAINIAC educational kits. These kits had six, 16-position rotary switches x 3 pairs of contacts (maximum) per position. One configured the device by installing contacts where desired and small shorting bars that traveled around connecting those contact pairs.
For purposes of the simulation a single contact pair per position would work as long as multiple switches could be synchronized by grouping. What would be invaluable is that the shorting bars should be able to travel past the boundary of a single revolution. Resetting the switch to zero should not be automatic.
Thank you for reading and considering this request. Your simulator works great and I appreciate the use of it! Only in some cases does a circuit depend on the characteristics of the rotary switch.
