I’m sort of a bit anti-social when it comes to the net, maybe backward is a better term email and google is all I do.

On the other note; I’m assuming the DS5000 is a storage system and not a digital voice recorder. I know some pretty keen young fellas who luv the dark side and might not mind me divulging their email addresses, I shall find out..

My current project is a dual speed controller for a twin screw pilot boat. To make it suit a radio control transmitter it will have tank/bulldozer style throttles. Adjusting the throttle will accelerate or decelerate both motors; pushing the throttle to the side will slow one motor and increase the speed of the other. Leaving the throttle centered and pushing it sideways will result in one motor going forward while the reverses. Doing it this way means you can use only two channels by plugging the rudder channel into the motor offset line and then the rudder servo into the correct socket on the PCB and have independent throttles and a rudder. I have included three open drain outputs which can sink 4 or 5 amps, dual diesel engine sounds which rev with the motors and a horn as well this will use seven channels and should provide quite a few opportunities for fun.
