Well a few of you know about this because you have either helped in the designing of it or you have been testing one and the other components. First let me say a HUGE THANK YOU to Rick Gray, DKirk, Ghoot, and BigBassMan for helping with the design and the Picaxe codes to run this thing. Another huge THANK YOU to JohnnyDeerHunter and Charles "BuckShot164" Garrett for helping with the testing. This board was designed to fill a few needs in my builds. Lots of my customers wanted a control board that would run on 3 AA batteries. I also wanted to eliminate the need for numerous add on boards so this board has the mosfets already on it. I also wanted the ability to control a exchanger without using the cheap exchanger circuit boards that was always failing. This board with the sound/exchanger board makes a video build super easy to wire up. The new and improved sound/exchanger board also has a POT on it so you can adjust the gain right from the board instead of changing resistors. It runs off the Picaxe 20M2 chip and can be programmed from the top side so no need to remove the board to program it. It has the 2 dip switches on the PIR side to select from the Type 1 - 4 basic camera timings if using it for still pics. If it has the video programming on it these two switches control either DXG567 or DXG125 camera timings and the other controls day mode only or 24 hour mode. On the topside of the board you have a 4 position dip switch that controls delays, trailmode or feeder mode, or daymode or 24 hour mode if running the still pic programming. If running the video programming it controls the length of videos and delay between videos. The PIR sensitivity is phenominal and we are getting accurate triggering out to 80' with very few false triggering. Also has a spot for attaching a external switch if you want that. Ralph and Rick were a HUGE help when we ran into coding issues and another big THANKS to those two.....
