Reminds of something I thought of as a kid. You know the two way switches for a light bulb: where both switches can turn the same single light on and off. You probably have one.

What if it were a 100 way switch and you had the challenge of keeping the light on (maybe everyone else is trying to keep it off). This is like just one checkbox in this game. It is cool to see this exists and someone figured out how to keep the lights on.




It's just a XOR gate, isn't it?


Toggling either switch in a 2 way (in the US it's called 3 way) toggles the load on or off. it appears if you toggle any input in xor it toggles the output, so, yes.

I logged in to disagree, found out i had misconstrued a specific part of NEMA (and hallucinated a wiring diagram, to boot!)
