There are two unused inputs brought to connectors available, so, in theory, it should be possible to add either two 2-position switches or a single 3-position switch. However, there would need to be a software change to allow for such a configuration.

Mike can the switches be added to the log file to activate or do they need a more in depth software change? Can a simple code be added?

It needs a software driver to read the hardware, then changes to allow the (optional) configuration of what extra switches are fitted, followed by changes to make the extra switches appear and be handled in things like the switch check on model load.

All possible, but not a simple/quick change.
