I have a panel with a rotary switch and several toggle switches. I need to sense the switch positions and output them via USB. Any ideas of how to implement? Thank you, Dale

The FTDI FT2232D is a USB peripheral chip that advertises a bit-bang mode.
That's all I know about it.
But it may be worth checking out.

These work with a little work.
How much work are you willing to do ?

I'd map each switch to a bit stored in a register, file, etc. somewhere. Then output the register, file, etc. to USB (or whatever) either on some set schedule or whenever a bit changes.

Get a parallel to USB adapter. One with EPP or ECP support.
