Obviously I'm fairly new to electronics. I am familiar with a handful of components and some basic electrical theory.
I am trying to find a way to take six to twelve or so signals (on/off) and transmit them using a minimal number of connections (hopefully 2) to another location for output.
Specific application is as follows:
I want to have a handful of switches that I can put on the door of my truck and use them to control a handful of devices (specifically: lock, unlock, passenger window up, passenger window down, rear window up, rear window down, and have the option to add on). I already have added a handful of wires for the door lock actuator and speakers and I would like to avoid running 6+ additional wires (6 assumes I use the switches as ground switches and use the door as a ground).
I am more interested in learning through this than the quantity of work it will entail, so if there is a way, I'm interested in it.
Thanks!
