Back in the saddle again

[Cane Pole]

Well, my saddle anyway.

In process or rebuilding the r/c transducer lift circuit. The china made wires had turned green and white over the past few years and were causing intermittent problems and was also binding up some.

I basically started over with the electronics and am using a microcontroller instead of relay controller. I wrote the control program for the unit during eye surgery recovery. I found it hard to concentrate with a patch on one eye.

Wiring in progress. This keeps me busy and off the streets.

The unit is a modified Da Ducer apparatus from my pal Rickie from Ky.

I did this because "it was there to do". I mostly used junk stuff for parts I had laying around.

Good to see you back doing what we all know you love to do. Fish pictures soon?

Hoping to see you and Miss Brenda Saturday at the ShinDig.

Glad to see you using that Rocket Science again.

I was trying to read his palm the other day but the dried crappie slime wouldn't give me a good answer ….but I tend to lean towards yes he is gunna hold some crappie soon ...

Glad to hear you are feeling much better and doing some of the things you like to do. Good fishin to you my friend.

Cane Pole,

Have you fooled with the Arduino units for open source hardware? Those things are way too cool - and cheap!

It was great to have you at the ShinDig. We did miss Miss Brenda.

Cane Pole,

Yes. I use numerous Arduino shields. This particular unit has two Arduino relay shields. Cheap as you mentioned and work good too.

I have several Parallax BS2 project boards, So I am using it as the controller. Easy programming as this controller is nothing but a sequencer circuit.
