Another "whistle/bell". I'm adding a bit of logic so the unit will remember the settings from last use. It's a rather simple device, but if anyone has any other suggestions for enhanced usability, I'd be happy to hear them. I believe we're pretty well tapped out functionality-wise, so all we can do is polish the features we have.
Current Feature List:
Dual Modes: Channel Selection or Dimmer Value with LED readout of value (slide switch)
Rotary Encoder: For dialing up or down the values
x10 multiplier: Increment/decrement value by 10 (momentary pushbutton enabled)
Dimmer Value Range: 0-255
Channel Value Range: 1..512.ALL.1..512.ALL...etc. ("wrap-around" in both directions)
Settings Persistence: Recalls channel and dimmer values from last use when powered on
Portable: Battery operated (battery type not yet determined)
RJ45 Output: For Cat-5 cable connectivity
Built-In Wireless: TBD - already compatible with Lynx Tx (supplies pwr to Lynx Tx for portability)
Chase Simulation: Adjacent channels only
All Channel Dimming: Select "ALL" in channel mode to apply dimmer value to all 512 channels together
Cheers,
Dave
