Switch Positions to USB Conversion

[dale]

I have a panel with a rotary switch and several toggle switches. I need to
sense the switch positions and output them via USB. Any ideas of how to
implement?
Thank you,
Dale

I'd map each switch to a bit stored in a register, file, etc.
somewhere. Then output the register, file, etc. to USB (or whatever)
either on some set schedule or whenever a bit changes.
