Wire them all up so you have to turn them all on to turn one thing on.

^^haha totally useless,but so cool.


Im still thinking about building a dashboard. I will also get some red led's and build some little led lights above each switch so when its flipped on the light comes on. i just dont have very good fabrication skills when it comes to shaping anything.

Lol... get hold of a circuit builder geek friend and build a starter lockout circuit where the switches are arranged so they have to be binary on/off in two ASCII bytes for 'O' and 'N' characters.

And of course the LED's for effect.
