Water Fuel Level control tank and Cell 2 in1
we are making the system with color screens this will incorporate into the auto start board on gms unit m note the 2 sensors will be water proof and work different from each other one is running balancing of 1 or 2 water tanks ,
and 2nd is adjustment of the cell optimum water level no full or empty but optimum 2 cm range both are driven by a single smart synced circuit
work in progress will post update on this soon as we add to the autostart db 37 card for gms use
Autostart auto refill Version 2 db 37 coming soon

I understand why the privacy. The world isn't safe at all anymore. Just the fact that free electricity would be like printing free money directly with the advent of mineable cryptocurrencys It would be attracting all kinds of bad juju. Possibly devalue millions...

Dan the attached is first draft of VIC Matrix connection document we talked about. I started with the first couple of boards that I finished. If this format is OK I will add to it as I finish some of the other boards.

The next version is attached. I did the rest to the VIC Matrix and cleaned up a few things that where miss labeled when I cut and pasted some of the tables. I have lighted things that need to be looked at in RED text. Biggest one might be the TPS wiring not on VIC MATRIX board as it looks right - problem is in version of Digital Means board I have because all the TPS connects are J (tied together on back of board small pad above pins)
Order of things in document is just the order I looked at things but can easily be changed.

Dan,
I was getting read y to test the K2 board and found I have the 37 sub-d pin numbers reversed. 1 should be 19 etc for all the pins. I can fix this I always have this problem do you look at pin number from face or back (it reverse the numbering). But if the break out board numbers do not match board this with be confusing. Leave the pin numbering on 37 connectors numbering for me I will fix after you repost should not take to long. I used the numbers on 9-pin on board so they should be right.

Dan updated pin numbers in tables they are in reverse order but should be correct now. Also corrected a few minor typo typos. Like items you added.
Bet you wish you had this information years ago. Did update information on the switch on K2 as it is needed to make board work figured out switch pots they connect to.
Bump version number to 2.2

Surprise you added all the testing notes hope it helps others. One Note; I need to take a look at K4 write up. When doing testing I had assumed that input signal was 5V level as I used output of K2 as input. When I had a problem with the TIP120 failure recently I went back through the board to see what was working and noticed input is at 12V level. While my test board works with 12V signal the changes I made to circuit to use 5V in front end may not be necessary. Good news is using the K2 write up I was able to quickly trouble shoot the test board and find problem.
Logic levels and signal shapes are things I was trying to understand when doing testing as they were not always clear from the circuit drawings.
Liked the additional details on new boards you added to document.
I am working on a couple of the new boards almost finished with K2 but having problem getting frequency out of 555 timer. I had skipped the second set of control frequency resistors my test board so initial left of switch to select one. Added switch but still only get out flat 5V signal. I had use .01uF capacitor as that is what circuit diagram called for and what I used on my test card. I noticed board label calls for .1UF so that may be problem. I did check 555 chip in my test board and it works (I always use sockets for chips).

yes i know some times it helps to advance or redo when we see things in a new light,
doc is great helper, and now we can fill in new things we remember or re check
i will review a again in a day or so to see thing missed or remembered
ar prsent we are going to audit the boms for k2 k3 k8 k11 so ,
if you firm the parts or spec we can change boms to match the test reports.
than people can have repeatable results faster and start at a higher level from day 1
