Controlling external device

Thu Feb 20, 2014 9:48 am

Hi,

I hope this is the right forum for this. I have an external device that I want to control. To be able to control it I need to connect two pins together (like manually putting a wire between two pins (input to ground)). The device has 5 inputs so pin 1 to ground activates channel 1, pin 2 to ground activates channel 2 and so on. What is the best/easiest and safest way to achieve this?

Thanks in advance!
