For those who like to reverse engineer boards, see my latest blog and try to figure out what this board does. Link below. Yes, there is a prize. For those who don't care, move along now, nothing to see here.

Looks like Relay logic for outputs and maybe some inputs, clamped inputs for analog signals, a serial communications to talk/answer to some other devices. etc..
Also noticed the rabbit board being used there with most likely a sizable C code program in it. This looks like a custom made device for a specific job.

Wow, is that a dual zamfriston with the optional high and low opulating weeblefeltzers? Haven't seen one of those in years!
I'd say it monitors multiple temperature inputs and switchs alarm outputs when certain setpoints are exceeded. It uses a multiplexed input.

Those are relais (Pickering), and 5832 is serial in multi I/O chip (print heads / bulbs / relays? drives the relays?
Could be some of those things to light up a light bulb in quizzes where each person in the audience has a switch. Could be a part (master) of a large alarm system. Could be some other form of light comntroller. Could be from an UFO in Andromeda that got stranded on earth 20 years ago.
heads / bulbs / relays? drives the relays?

..could be you are having too much fun making wild guesses?
Keep it up Dave I find your video blogs entertaining and what the world needs is people with obvious enthusiasm for what they do. And if some people think you're like Steve Irwin perhaps you'll end up with a TV show and a film star income as well/.

Thanks for the support. I enjoy doing it, and that's the main thing. I'm actually rather suprised at how fast it's taken off and how popular it's become already. Yeah, plenty of detractors out there, but they don't bother me in the least. At least I'm producing stuff that many people like and find useful. When challenged to show their stuff, the detractors scurry into their holes real quick. Rather humerous really!

Usually it's 1% of the people making 99% of the noise. I've found that about 15% of the population will complain about anything and you'll never make them happy no matter what you do. They're probably suffering from clinical depression or something along those lines. If someone presents a reasonable, logical argument or point then I'll listen to it.
