Thanks everyone, a lot going on, all noted. Thanks for the PM Mike, again noted. Once I'm near to having something that does not resemble a plumbers nightmare I'll look to contacting people.

I was down at the PDMHS AGM preamble this afternoon. Saw Adam, JB and Dave Web. Much interest there too again with some excellent sources of ideas and help.

Peter.

Sadly it has been on the back burner for some time. I'm looking to start again now that I've acquired more parts. One thing that has developed is the video transmission. I've got that working over CAT5 cable using balums to convert the video signal. Works up to 100 meters no problem.

Rather than make it too complicated to start with I'm simplifying some of it and let the development come with time. That way things tend to get done otherwise it will be another 2 years.

The other problem I've had is the day job, which sadly provides the where with all to do the rest, has been taking up all my time and that includes home time, as much of what I've been doing involves controlling gas engines around the country from a laptop when I'm not on site installing/modding things.

A timely prod Simon.

Look forward to hearing more on it when you've got the time for the project again Peter 🙂
