I am trying to start on a project and am wondering if I'll be able to automate it. Hoping I came to the right place.
The project consists of 6 input lines from a vehicle (12 volt, maybe 10-15 amps) and 6 output lines. The overall idea is that each of the input lines should be able to connect to any one (but only one) of the output lines and provide full voltage/amps across the circuit. The correct input/output lines will generally change each time the unit is hooked up.
Currently I have it laid out that I can manually test which input should be hooked up to which output by physically completing the circuit to each output line, verifying the correct output is activated, and fastening the circuit.
What I want to end up with is a button switch at each input, such that I can press the button up to 6 times, and each time it will connect to a different output line. Once the correct output is verified, i would press the second button, to connect to one of the 5 remaining outputs, and so on.
My question (somewhat embarassingly) is how would I get started? Would there be an integrated circuit that might support some of this functionality? Are there integrated circuits that are able to handle this combination of voltage/amps?
Thanks for your consideration
