Arduino micro

Quote from: Steve & Michelle –
a couple of times the system has exhausted air to lower the front.  This last time, though, it saw curbside low plus rear low.  First it pumped up the curbside (and you could hear air exhausting somewhere as well).  Amber light for curbside goes out and pump shuts off.  Then it went to work on the rear.  And kept pumping.  And pumping.  I put the level on the floor and the bubble never moved one iota and we were definitely front high/rear low.  So it was definitely pumping both front and back up at the same rate, even though it only should have raised the rear.


Time to get an Arduino micro and program up your own controller!  Lots of FT folks would buy them!

Ok Dave, I will bite, what is the Arduino micro ?

It's an open-source prototyping system with lots of available bits, that hobbyists  are using for controllers of all different types.

Arduino - HomePage

A basic controller board is ~$25-30.  interface stuff (relays, input adapters, etc) would all be custom, but cheap parts.  You could program it from the comfort of your own laptop in your rig,  andt with one key stroke you could disable your entire coach  :)), (thereby earning the complete affection and admiration of your DW/DH.) 

Other important innovations would also be possible.  Imagine how cool your friends would think you were if all your slides and airbags could actuate in time to music from your sound system!  Take that, Newell owners!

Dave, Many thanks for the info abt Arduino micro etc, can see many areas for its use, not the slide, door locks, leveling and blow the horn at programmed times.
I have been a fan of controls, relays, timers etc. Works well in my generator business, some times you have to come up with some creative solutions to non standard issues.
Again, many tnx.
