It's broken.
It was broken years ago.
As soon as the first sites were opened to the public everything 
started to go wrong.
Its obviously far too dangerous to go out in public, let alone fly.
I think we should just give them ...
Oh.
Wrong thread.
OK ..

PS: Reading multiple switches on one pin is not uncommon but is a very 
useful idea. Having pre-rolled code for those who are unaccustomed to 
this is a good idea. Even more than 7 switches should be possible 
using the same general method, subject to the accuracy of the ADC and 
the resistor tolerances. Too many and you start to get annoying 
resistor values unless you start to get innovative in the way you use 
them. I don't know how Bob's method works in detail but if you wanted, 
say, 16 switches you could try say 4 divider chains with similar 
valued resistors in the switched portions and a different value above 
this combination to the pin plus another resistor from pin to supply. 
That way you get a series parallel arrangement.  ...
