Now that i have time in my hands, it's on the surgery table.
Ok it looks messy but this is only one proto to check in real how it behaves when surge runs in the wires





Piko + dual board for automation, driving in this version up to 100 Amps splited on 10 output channels of 10 Amps each.
4 pwm output channels.
40 digital inputs.
4 analog inputs.
Watchdog.
The automation boards can be accessed through the lan or through the internet as well for firmware upgrade or simply for monitoring or activating / deactivating ports.
Both cards are collaborating but still they live their life apart.

Ok, the automated boards are working fine
Ladder benchmarks are reporting everything is ok with the I/O
That's all for today, tomorrow i have to buy a connector for the audio and that's it, the creature is in the box

Now that the Roadster is finished and while waiting for some more hardware needed for my bimmer, i used this extra time to integrate an assistant in my frontend.
She likes to confirm entered commands, warn me for speed traps, and some little more things for now but i planned some more features for her





To see her in live... http://www.youtube.com/v/ZnHpAlc9KCk
