I like the conversion table, it's a fun innovative design that hasn't been done before and pulling off an on the fly switcheroo of the controlling hardware would be a choice bit of hackery. Plus it has some serious wow factor for guests. IMHO it'd almost be a shame not to go onto the next step. It's not a new project, it's just phase two of this current one. It'd be a shame to quit now...plus I have a thing for feature creep when it's well executed and that is some serious feature creep. Do it.
Lol thanks Le Chuck, I know I can always rely on you and Scott to understand the adventurous exploration side of my ideas. It's kinda funny when people here say 'what's the point...you may as well just.....' while I understand the rather unarguable logic of that frame of mind, I do have to point out there is absolutely no logic, practicality or cost effectiveness involved in this hobby.
I'm not trying to be rude, just saying if you're going to get all "PrAcTiCaL" you may as well go buy an Xbox and be done with the whole hobby. Revolution cost almost $4,000 to build, LMPM probably $500-$600, so yeah nothing that makes any real sense there.
Planning out the BOM for my future driving cab, it could well be the most expensive yet, and it will certainly be the most insane thing I have ever placed in my home.
I guess there are Spocks and there are Kirks, both heroes but I know which i'd rather be.
