Hi Amanda,
It's an interesting question. There are others on this forum who are better placed to answer your question than me, but here's my tuppence worth (although I'm not quite sure if it is a general switch interface question?).
I have always found the Don Johnson switch interface to offer the most flexibility for switch control https://toolbox.thearc.org/hardware/808 (I'm not sure if it is still available) although Inclusive Technology offer a range of switch interfaces: http://www.inclusive.co.uk/hardware/switch-interface-boxes
Then it would just be a case of setting up each switch to replicate the actions you want to perform, switch 1 spacebar press to read out the question, switch 2 enter etc, assuming this is what you want to do, e.g. or would a switch scan/radar (Grid 3) be a better alternative?
Regards
Craig

Subject: Switches for poll??
Hello,
I’m not sure if this is the right platform to ask my question but have my fingers crossed 🤞
So, at College we are required to get opinions and feedback from our students and we have a computer set up for this. However, we used to have something called ‘QTV’ which was setup by a previous technician and they had programmed 4 switches to do 4 different actions e.g 1 would read the question aloud and the other three would select a certain answer - yes, no, don’t know.
The answers would then be available to view on a separate PC using an IP address and the question could be changed etc.
This has now stopped working and I have been unable to find a replacement way for switch users to access the poll.
Does this make sense and is anyone able to offer any advice please?
Thank you
Amanda
