I've got my new solid state motor controller PCB (just a chip, really), and the USB-to-Serial-and-GPIO converters.
Mmm.. the next version of this may truly be deserved of the title
Frankenswitch!
I'm thinking of making up a new platform with
two motors/switches, controlled from a single USB converter. The second switch would give us more flexibility before next February. That's when the antennas will need to be rearranged, as the analog PBS transmitter goes off-air permanently then.
There's a newer, digital HD, PBS station we can receive in place of that, but only with a different antenna configuration that conflicts somewhat with the existing setup of splitters and combiners.
Mmm.. I wonder if four switches might be even better.. ?
Cheers
