Sensor/LED Power Control (S3)
These DIP switches are used to control power to specific devices on the BoosterPack
board. The primary purpose is to provide a method for turning off unused devices to
conserve power. For example, an application not using the Color Light Sensor would
benefit from turning off position 3, since the light sensor is relatively power hungry. Another
example would be an application that utilizes the LEDs but the user turns off positions 1 and
4 to reduce power consumption (no code change necessary).
The default state of all DIP switches is ON (closed).
