Thanks for the electronics interlude. The gravelly voice overdub was a nice touch[View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-1f9b7f42-a90e-458b-ad64-2db19e8061f4/contentimage_5F00_3.png:16:16]

Hi John,

That is a heavy duty bank of buttons for sure. I suppose you could set up an array in your microcontroller with a place holder for every button so that a button push toggles the individual contents of the array. That would allow multiple lights to be controlled. You could use it as gross overkill digital control to incrementally set the output of a light or the volume on your radio :-). Maybe some kind of range switch for an instrument. Thanks for posting a fun piece of equipment.

John,

Good to hear from you. Looks like a pretty good haul of surplus parts and such. Seems like there were a good number of poser supply boards, judging by the large capacitors and transformers. The switches in your demo board might work their way into some of the cool powers supplies and test equipment that you build for you lab.

Take care, be safe and stay warm.
