[Hi-zreceivingarraydiscussions] Two items today

[appello GmbH]

Hi Rich,

I am switching my 8-circle over the internet. I am using a VPN 
connection to a PC at the remote site (also for other chores). On this 
PC I have a small web based piece of software (browser) that controls an 
Arduino (http://www.arduino.cc/) on the same network as the PC. The 
Arduino has a relay card and the relays are in parallel with the desktop 
controller of the Hi-Z array.

Arduino with relay board:

If you need more info let me know.
