Seems easy / can it be done ? want to input 64 momentry switches to toggle latch 64 outputs...any help appreciated

Would that be 8 of each ??? ............do you know if the arduino will interface with the 82C55 PIO chip by intercil
Yes 8 of each will give you 64 inputs and 64 outputs while only using 6 pin on the arduino.
From what I can tell the 82C55 is a programmable interface chip. If you know how to use it then you can certainly use an Arduino to control it and its 24 i/o pins but you'll need to program the chip as well as the Arduino to control things. But I wouldn't know where to begin in wiring it to the arduino.
Ok back to the 74 chips...Im ok with analog but dire with digital so excuse me !!
Can I setup ,say, 20 memory stores where combinations of the switches can be saved and re-called.
Thats doable. Its all in how you program the Arduino.
