ITS ALIVE!!


Seriously though - well done Nigel on sorting out the issues with that board and getting her running.

On the relay front - well, we found some premade ones on ebay so we have a couple of different ones coming that will give us some choice.


Great to see it running.

Great work guys....nice to hear music from one of those boards as well.
If you do test the SD player in the case Nige it is already bypassed for 3.3v direct to the power pins.
Picked up 4 x 1kG rolls of Print material from Radionics today so ready for printing what we need.

That is great news Nige with the Supercaps...just noticed my incorrect wiring of the regulators after seeing your picture, glad you went in and caught that!
