I have started adapting my daughters toys for external switches so she
is able to operate them. She has Spinal Muscular Atrophy which limits
her movement to hands and feet. So far it has been very simple,
soldering wire to whatever existing switch is in her toy and running
the wire out to a 1/8 plug.
She has several toys that operate on multiple internal switches and
each switch does something different. For example a doll that says
something different when you touch the left hand verses the right hand.
What do I need to do create one switch that cycles through all the
abilities or switches of a single toy. I can imagine a setup that with
each click of her switch the toy cyles through all the actions: left
hand, right hand, left foot, right foot. Also if you guys have any
advice on learning more design in general I would appreciate it.
