That turned out awesome! I'm sure you'll get all the kinks out. Looks like it's straight out of a major manufacturer's box! :thumbsup:

Heh, not if you saw the solder-work that went into it :lol:

Got phase 8 working and all the inputs on ring 2's control panel working. Had a few bad solder joints, and ended up flat-out replacing the LED. I've never seen an LED short through the casing like that.

Interesting thing is... I thought I had a handle on computerized controllers. Even just playing with ring 2 and the general inputs, I'm learning soooo much more. May have to post some videos when I'm all done of what-does-what.

I'd like to see that video. I don't know what one would look like NIB but it looks nice, I like it :drool:

Almost on the home stretch.... overlaps, system status and phase 1 all wired up. I have 2 LEDs that I must have overheated while soldering as they are testing bad now.

And a note to anyone thinking of trying this.... it pays to have a second controller around. I just spent a whole day chasing the connections and pinout of ring 1's status indicators, only to find out those channels on my Peek 3000 are blown (A is permanently grounded, B sputtered then failed open, C is good). :Phil:

Plugged in my 1880E and it looks like everything is working, A is toggling but I can't find the test sequence for that controller.

Off to eBay to find some more LEDs and some line drivers for the 3000.

Alright, enough text. Here's what many have been waiting for. EEET'S ALLLIVEEE! :crazy:

This video runs through the output diagnostic on the Peek Transyt 3000E controller. The LEDs are a bit on the blinding side... thinking of installing a potentiometer in the panel to control overall brightness.

Next step is to begin work on box #2... the 120V interconnect for my basement display. :grin:

VERY COOL! :drool:

Also I'll be with you there on the 120V interconnect some day, just have to figure out how in the world to get those inputs into my digital controller...the mechanicals will be easy :crazy:

Thanks! What kind of controller are you working with?

Most likely, a 2070 controller running ASC/3 software. It's just a matter of remapping some inputs and making a relay board since I'll be using an EF-20 master.
