So I have this old, portable device, its exact nature shouldnt be revealed here. In order to control the device, it has thirteen contacts on it, which, when connected in certain ways I know, trigger a reaction. The Voltage is never higher than 0.15 Volts. I need a way to automate these connections or simulate them in some way. Can I do this with an Arduino Controller? If yes, How? I have never worked with an Arduino or any other micro-controller before but have some tinkering experience. Help would be much appreciated!
Can I do this with an Arduino Controller?
Yes.
If yes, How?

Good thing too.
The exact answer will not be revealed here for exactly the same reasons.
ok, the master of mysteries reveals: its an old piece of electronic junk which most likely used to be an old controler or keyboard.

So with that level of detail I can tell you that you can do it with software and a few transistors.
If you just need .15 V you can probably get by with resistors rather than transistors, depending on the level of current required.
This is equivalent to "I have a project, can I do it?" Not enough information to even guess at an answer.

Use FETs to establish connection between the contacts?
DrDiettrich:

This assumes that these contacts need to be pressed not act as an input. As the OP will not say what he wants to do then all we can do is guess.
Which is what we are doing. We are just passing time while the OP extracts his digit.
Thirteen pins on the arduino connected to thirteen voltage dividers, connected to the thirteen points?
Let me guess, it's a machine that requires you to enter certain numbers every 108 minutes?

You have totally lost me.

You're in an actual Swan station?
Grumpy_Mike:
Yes.
Good thing too.The exact answer will not be revealed here for exactly the same reasons.
I have to agree with Grumpy_Mike, we can't help you in details if you don't provide the information in detail specially when you said that you don't have much knowledge about programming and Arduino.
Maybe a picture of the device or a schematic diagram would help us to help you as you want to!
I'm just waiting for PaulS to reply this topic ! lol
