Its been tough going. The electronics and coding went steadily, and surprisingly smoothly. The prototype modules are now all functioning. We have made modules for:
- Manual Input Module (Sagittarius) using 16 x 2 LCD with pushbutton input
- Low Power Relay Module (Aries) using 4 numbers of relays
- RF Module (Pisces) using 434 Mhz transmitter receiver pairs
- Sound Module (Leo) using a buzzer and microphone
- IR Module (Virgo) using an IR transmitter and receiver
Funny, the part which we thought would be fun really stumped us. The packaging design just got bogged down for a couple of weeks. Now we have design we are pleased that is easily downloaded and made.
Now for the final stretch. The exprimental pcb prototypes and casings are to be shelved when we make the final design versions.
Back to work !!!
