I'm afraid I don't have any circuit diagrams, sorry about that.
I have a board game that I am trying to "electrify", and there is one part I am having difficulty working out.
I need to transfer the state of several switched to a "mobile" display panel. This panel is the players piece, and to make it easy for the player to move and as robust as possible I am planning to use a mono or stereo jack plug to complete the circuit.
The problem is the number of switched states I need to transfer.
There are 6 switches which are either on or off. On the playing piece there are 6 lights/LED's corresponding to the 6 switches. The idea is that various patterns are displayed on the playing piece depending on the the position of the switches.
So how do I condense the 6 switch states down 2 or 3 wires and then split them back out again?
I am presuming it is going to be some form IC, but this is an area I have no experience in.
