I have this toddler's toy that I'm circuit bending... It has 26 buttons, each one for a letter in the alphabet.

I'm making a video for each letter, and I want a video to be triggered by pressing its corresponding button. I'm using arduino with max/msp (and a jitter patch), but since the arduino has only 12 pins, I need to use a multiplexer so I can group the buttons in sets of 5 and 6s and take up less pins.

Any ideas? I would really appreciate it... THanks!

Probably a question better suited for arduino forums until you're
actually communicating with Max.

Arduino has a great forum itself so your matter doesn
