Above are the circuits for the switches and buttons used by the Plinko MPAG (right/left buttons, limit switches, and the drop sensor). When the switch or button is pressed the circuit closes and the voltage output to the C32 processor changes from zero to five volts. Since the maximum leakage current through an open switch is 2.5μA, the highest possible open-circuit output voltage is 25mV. All debouncing was done with software.
