I thought the pypilot computer had pinouts for switches instead of requiring gpio connections or pull down resistors?

The latest computer design does not have pinouts because the remote controls developed work very well. It is simpler to mount a remote control panel near the computer.
The pypilot hat does have pinouts, and you do not need resistors, only to connect each button(s) to ground to activate a particular function. For example tacking typically is programmed for both +1 and +10 buttons.
