safety switch code

studdlymurphy

Hi all looking for a point un the right direction. I have an arduino mega.
I want to use it as a safety device.
If switches 1-5 are all made then the output is high otherwise the output is low.
Where would i go about finding out how to do this or how much would it cist for someone to write the code for me approx?
Thanks

Really? Thats like, maybe two lines of code

Could you not just connect sw 1 ---->5 in series ?


connect to 240v rail to stop people at it

Where would i get the code or how to start writing it.

I want the option of using any of the 5 switches so would prefer to have the seperate. But as you say series may still be tge best option.

It will be in a 12v system.

Also if a switch is triggered i would want it to latch until a reset button was pressed.

Could you use a safety relay instead ?
