| Sep 29, 2016 at 18:51 | comment | added | AJMansfield | I already have a way to do this with \$\lceil\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{4 k+1}+\frac{1}{2}\rceil\$ diodes and \$\lceil\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{4 k+1}+\frac{1}{2}\rceil\$ pins just with putting the switches in parallel. I am trying to do better than that. | |

| Sep 29, 2016 at 18:21 | comment | added | Transistor | I read it twice before I answered. Schematics are better than words. This uses one diode per switch. Are you asking to improve on that? | |
| Sep 29, 2016 at 18:17 | comment | added | AJMansfield | I already mentioned this exact configuration in my question. | |
