redg8r Posted July 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 With your electronics background, ever heard of arduino? I considered it given its ease of access, now sold at radio shack. post up the .skp when you can, I'm finally getting the hang of it.

I don't have an electronics background, I am lucky to work with people who can tell me what I need and how to do it. Never heard of it, but I just did a Google search. It seems like a simple version of a PLC, the guys at work use a software called RSLogix5000 by Rockwell Automation, but this pretty serious stuff and pricey. I asked an electrician at work if I needed a PLC but he said I can do everything I want with relays and it will be much simpler for fault finding etc. or replacing components. What ever I do with the electrical side I will post up how I did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
