      My two pennies worth: status response. It
would be nice if you could query the state of the relays.

            Features :

             
            Off r1
            On R2
            Turn R1 in
2Min for 1hour
            Flash R1
(interval)
            Group Relays
together like 1,2,3 so they can be toggled.
            Eg When
issued with the command “turn On R3” and then “turn On R2”  -
R3 would turn off before R2 Came on
             
            All this can
be software controlled from the plugin. 
            All I would
need is the simple on/off instructions to send to the serial port.
            What you
think ?

            Sounds good
to me. Can you start putting together a wish list of features. I will be
using a PIC micro controller and a serial interface at up to 19200. I might
even make the baud rate selectable. Think about things like the commands
you want to send e.g. R1 on, R1 off etc. You might want an acknowledgement
as well. Lots of fun.
             
            I am trying
to keep it simple initially so commands like R1 on for 1 hour then xyz will
not be in the first release.

            Hi Amar
           
             
           
            I have
ordered the PCB's so assuming no mistakes on my part boards will be
available from about the 9th September. I am away on hols for a little
before that ;-))
           
             
           
            Details and
pictures are on my site at www.mollyology.com then projects and relay
board. At the moment it is aimed at HV and Comfort users but I will be
putting together a small simple serial interface for it. This latter bit
will make it very similar to the unit you have. You can be my beta tester
if you like ;-))
           
             
           
            The relay
board is opto isolated as well so none of that nasty AC stuff going
anywhere near your precious PC.

      When I was designing my relay board I
initially used reed relays which had some problems with things like
capacitive loads, AC etc. The relays on the SOM1 look very similar so you
may be experiencing similar problems. Check the relays are actually
switching off somehow with the speakers connected and showing the problems.
Alternatively use one of my boards <grin> which are rated up to 120v
AC and everything else you can think of.

      Loudspeakers use an AC signal, not DC. There
is no concept of a
           
           
      common ground, so you can't switch it that
way.
