Today I assembled a card which will be used to do some different things in the shack. It has got a USB port which is used to communicate with the server, and it has got an openASC bus as well which makes it possible to talk with different units on the bus, or different units to talk with the remote card. It is used together with the box I previously posted about with the 10 pcs of switches, mainly used to turn on/off different gear at the radio station. It can be done either through the server (remotely) or locally. The plan is also that it will have a timer which times out if for example we lose the Internet connection and will then automatically turn off all the gear.
