I actually have ideas on wireless communication, but I need to do some development work to make the link more intelligent so there can be more than one running at the same time. That's going to require a new PCB, new software, etc. In other words, if I were doing this as a product, or for my own use, it would be on me. However, if I took on a job for someone to do all of this, I'd expect them to foot the bill.
Well....I would certainly never expect you or anyone to do a bunch of work on your own time for me for free. Thank you for explaining it all.
I guess I am going with the magnets on the Aux tender. This might actually work quite well behind any Steamer. I may start there with the ERR large steam in the water tender (and get an extra articulated sound card to swap for big boy/challenger runs) and see how it does for me all around. Seems to be the most versatile snd cost effective solution.
Now I have to find a black Aux tender with rollers...
I am going to attempt my GS-4 upgrade with the 3.0 kit myself. As far as I can tell it should work with a PS2 3v board which I have on hand. But if I have to use the PS32 then I’ll be picking one of those up soon. I’m going to keep the original lighting and not do LEDs, so hopefully that won’t be an issue.
