Title: Another Checking Back In
Post by: MalcolmInN on August 05, 2017, 09:10:46 PM
As promised in Mike's topic, here is my "hello, checking back in" post.

Since closing the door on my railway room back in early spring I have not had anything Ngauging to say !
But a couple of weeks ago, the garden now mostly looking after itself and with the prospect of autumn and winter nights in the offing, I went in   for a play  to test it to see if it all still worked.

It did, sort of ! but soon the second of my three Bacfar ex-set controllers gave up the ghost in spectacular fashion :( I know they are supposed to be good reliable controllers by all accounts, I must be the exception to that rule !

I will post in Ndiscussion or Electronics or somewhere, soon, about how I recovered the situation by making one good controller out of two.

Like many things, lack of use can alter functionality.
I'm thinking brain cells, you mucky people :angel:
