LOL fare call , next weeks temperature is all in the 30C plus.
Any thoughts on the ardunio mega ATMega2560 and teensy range of microcontrollers as USB interfaces ?
Be too hot there for me, Bad enough where I am today with 27C temps lol.
I dont mind working late since im on a decent salary (104K per year).
Got a working alpha of this mod as a useable plugin so far......
But then the VM167 looks like a much better addon board to use. But its $100 vs the $4 this board costs so its sort of a easy cheap .......something.
Nice work , you certainly are keen and hard worker doing unpaid over time ! You wanna come and work for me in SUNNY MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA ?
Is Arduino Mega ATmega2560 and/or
Teensy (3.0 , 3.1, .... 3.5 , 3.6 )
Microcontroller feasible to use as a
USB interface for additional channels
at a quarter/third of a price of
velleman module vm167 USB interface
board ?

Dont know how far I should take it tho since could add a simple scripting window so you can control it for your own input conditions.

Hi Bmgjet , where are you located in the world?
I would also like this.
Im postphoning this until the plugin system is in place since make it nicer to have everything in a unified system so each update doesnt break compatiblity which it would if I was hooking the software.
If you need something urgent for your system I can throw together a simple program to work with your specific version.
bmjet,
The idea of a plugin system for YourDyno is really good. I am all for a way to make anyone contribute to the software, without exposing the source code, and plug-ins can be the way to go! I will look at how to do that technically.
Yeah will be for all users, Just waiting on permission to be allowed to hook into the software to pull values from it. Like how you can get hacks for computer games by hooking into it.
Other wise I can always just make it stand alone but then it will require input from user to activate relays on screen.
Nice work Bmgjet , i definetly will need extra relays for my engine dyno room to control a few items.
Will this extra feature be avaliable for other yourdyno uses ?
I was thinking using the arduino and a 8 or 16 channel relay shield independent of yourdyno controller.
