When you’re prototyping a new project, sometimes all you requirement is a switch. The people at oomlout were tired of constantly having to rewire things, so they developed a universal switch box for the Arduino. It has five potentiometers plus three switches. They’ve put together a software application bundle that screens the switches as well as can show you a online view of the knob positions. have a look at the video below for a demo.
The writeup really hints at what we can only presume is the next set they’re releasing: a robot arm.
