Switch box for son with Special Needs

$15-25 USD / hour

$15-25 USD / hour

I'm looking to build a "box" that has the following specs: 1) There are to be 2 inputs (Input 1 and Input 2) and 3 Outputs (Output 1, 2 & 3). The inputs have a 1/8" mono Female connection, which will accept a 1/8" mono male audio cable, which will be coming from a normally open contact switch. The outputs will also be 1/8" mono female connection, but they will be normally open contacts, that close when specified (below) 2) The operation of this "box" is pretty simple: a) When the box is first turned on, I want the box to take the input from Input 2, and pass it thru to output 1. So, if in this mode, if input 2 sees a momentary click (closed and then open on the normally open contact), output 1 will perform the identical operations (a momentary close/open contact). If input 2 receives a 3 second "close" signal, output 1 will perform a 3 second close on it's contact. b) When there is a signal (click) on Input 1, the box will switch the output to Output 2. Same outputs as in a) above. When there is another click on Input 1, output will switch to Output 3. Another click on Input 1 - output switches back to Output 1. 3) I would like this run via a rechargeable battery and a 12 volt external power supply which will be supplied by the power wheelchair. I would also like LED lights to indicate which output switch is currently active. The concept here is that my son uses a normally open switch to perform multiple tasks - control his wheelchair, activate his communication device, control his cell phone . . . This box will facilitate him being able to choose which device he is controlling, without the need for someone to unplug his switch from one device, and plug it into another device. The more configurable we can make this, to accommodate different future needs, the better, but that is not the priority. We need this built for us, as I have no electronics backgound.

Hi I'm an electronic engineer with more than 5 years of experience in embedded systems design. I completely read your project description and I feel this is a good opportunity for helping someone in need. Also I have a very good project plan as well. We can do this work by using off the shelf components like arduino and relays. What we have to do is use the relays as multiplexers and input and outouts will go through relays. Relays will be controlled by arduino based on its click inputs. We can use push buttons for that. There will be good enough wiring work, so I beleive you can handle it once I provide the wiring diagrams. Or do you need me to ship a completed product? I'm looking forward to hear from you Thank you Anusha

Have real time experience on building Arduino based device. I can build such BOX to control your son's device to use. I have built lots of digital device by using Arduino and Raspberry Pi. But your required device can be build by Arduino UNO board and we must use some relay switch and a simple schematic diagram for control the relay switch. You must hire me for minimum one week that means 40 hours milestone is required. 15+ years of experience on Computer Language and Digital Electronics.

I have 17 years experience in electronics and embedded electronics. The best option for your project is to use a 3.3V or 5V microcontroller like PIC. I will choose the best PIC micrcontroller and do your project. I will also design the PCB layout and I can get it manufactured and send it to you but you have to find an enclosure for the device. You can contact me at jayanthd2k12(at)gmail(dot)com In above address replace (at) with @ and (dot) with . I am working on your project. I will complete it in 2 hours.
