****SPOILER ALERT**** solution (mine anyway) has been posted on down the page.
I think I got this figured out (good use of work time), but haven't tested it yet.
I think it makes an excellent brain teaser.
Anyone else care to give it a shot?
I have a 4-speed shifter (H pattern) that utilizes 3 microswitches.
Each switch has 3 terminals; In, Normally Open, & Normally Closed.
One on each side registers whether the shifter is forward or backwards (both do this).
One on the front registers whether the shifter is to the left or right.
I need to wire it in such a way that it will register a button press for each gear.
It must be able to work with a pad hack, keyboard encoder, or any other interface.
It all must be done with the wiring to these switches. No extra relays, no scripts, etc.
If you've done this before, acknowledge it, but don't post the answer just yet.
