I don't see much relevence between multiplexing and your controller?.
Im trying to recreate the playstation controller into two separate gloves using pressure sensors for both of the gloves. In other words one hand will do the directional section and the other hand will do the buttons. So, the controller is being split in half but i trying to think of a way in which to combine the two separate gloves to form one data line.
As I suggested above, multiplexing isn't what you want!.
You just do as the existing controller presumably does?, have the sensors feeding one micro-controller, which sends one data stream.
Do you know all the protocols used by the original controller?, you're going to have to know them to make your own from scratch!.
In the original controller there are 9 cables attached to the controller circuitry board and the other end would connect to the pin outs of the playstation. Now im thinking that each finger will have its own cable making a total of 9 fingers using 9 cable which in then are going to be connected to a microntroller circuitry but then at the other end of the microcontroller circuitry board i have to combine those cables wouldn't i so that it connects to the pin outs of the playstation. Unless i have 9 cables going in the microntroller and 9 cables coming out and connect to the pins.
Also when your saying protocols what are you referring to the way in which the playstation and controller communicate. I already know that fact.
