Step 3The Interface
To connect to each button I needed a latched port expander using 74LS259 and 74LS138 TTL ic's. To press the buttons I used some old CD4066 analog switches.
See the attached logic plan. I soldered the parts on an evaluation board with small wires. On the borad I put also a voltage regualtor LM78L05 and some capacitors. The power regulator is a standard application to get a regulated power for the ic's. I connected a old, unregulated AC-DC charger.
You can see the setup on the attached pictures.
