    Hmmm, didn’t mean to bump a tender spot by mentioning AB. It wasn’t to be taken seriously, however looks like it was. And about the affordability of the ‘would be’ product they’d offer…….this ol’ country boy can’t afford most of the hi tech stuff out there now, so pricing wouldn’t matter to me anyway!

    Electrical Engineering.

    A good electronic technician can do this wiring stuff better than I. :o I am pretty good at figuring things out though.

    I have a hobby that turned into a lifelong career. I have had fun jobs all my life (except a government job in southeast Asia).

    I have outside help. I have support from CruzPro, Garmin and Var Tech. All have been great assents to help this project. I have been pursuing this for 4-5-6 years. I got sidetracked with HB SI. I am back at it again.

    How much time do you spend "rolling jigs"?:rolleyes::D

    I might not be the best fisherman, but I can hold my own with wires.:p:p

    Hey Beav, I'm bragging again.:rolleyes:

    I also get help from Motion Computing. Don't wanna leave them out. They got me started with this project.

    I like the Allen Bradley RS Logix Micro. I can make the sucker do anything I want (with a program).

    I not an Industrial Control person, but I understand how it all works. Automation is very interesting stuff.

    Tom, You are taking crappie fishing to a whole new level. A man could learn a lot about a lake just riding around with you.

    Nice, clean, professional work. Nothing can compare to a well thought out designed plan. You, Sir have your stuff together.
