    One day, I’m going to actually start a project I’ve long wanted to do: tear apart the control board for one of the bidets and re-wire it up to a board with three shells.

    It’s not a complex project, but I want to make it look nice, and I always get stuck in planning; I need to either invest in a 3D printer, find a local maker space, or spend time online finding a printing service. And before all that, I need to learn enough about designing for a printer … it’s at this point in the thought process I get sidetracked by other things, and never get started.

    But… someday. Someday, I’ll have three shells that actually control the toilet.

    Side note: there are far more than three controls on the bidet remote, and even programming a multi-sequence control, it’d be difficult to get all of the functionality behind just three buttons. If each shell were a 4-way toggle, it might work, but it’d be a terrible user interface having to memorize all the combinations.

      What if the shells were on something like a joystick, such that left-right could be one scale and up-down could be another?

      Or maybe sliders in the grooves of the shell?

      I love your project and hope it comes to fruition. Best of luck.
