hi i have a controller with 7 buttons and a 4 way directional stick
i wish to create a device that can connect to the controller and displays/read what combination of buttons that are being pressed via led
eventually i then want to connect it to another pcb
i was told i could do it by using some 4066 bilateral switches and some invertor ICs. which i have no idea what they are, any ideas how i would set this up?
i did some reading in electronics the book for dummies ;x and found some interest in microcontrollers, i was wandering what would be a good microcontroller to get to get started with, i was told to get one with a interperatur for the BASIC language is this a wise idea? was wandering will it be able to program a number of different chips and if i will need a board of some sort.
and any other sites/book/info
you can recommend to me to get into electronics. thanks =)
forgot to mention could i combine the use of the microcontroller in this project?
