My Project

@gregl said: Cool project! Just to chuck in some other ideas... Replace existing pot ( is it stereo? ) with http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/SPIDigitalPot https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10613 Replace existing pot with a motorised one..http://www.ebay.com/itm/ALPS-Remote-Motor-Volume-Potentiometer-Control-Adjustment-4CH-50KA/321428122915 ( or similar) you could probably salvage one of these from an old stereo system...many in the late 80's /90''s had these.... Good thread here: http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=143271.0 Keep us posted! Thanks for the ideas! Replacing the existing pot is probably the simplest thing and what my original plan was...until I realized that the knob and board don't come apart. WAF-wise I don't want this thing to be unusable for the foreseeable future. I think I'm still leaning towards the pot in parallel (for its simplicity) or the servo....but the servo will be quite bulky to the little switch! I'll post some pictures when I get a chance to clear up what exactly I'm trying to do

@jpaulwhite to where are you sending this message? Can you explain what you are trying to do?

That sums it up. Questions are welcome!

Here are the results in Xively. You will noticed I used the Node ID and Child ID as the Channel name. [image: upload-482864e9-f825-4b7b-ad97-3f4150bfa197.PNG]

If you need SMS/GPRS the following boards would be great, http://imall.iteadstudio.com/development-platform/arduino/arduino-compatible-mainboard/im130514001.html http://imall.iteadstudio.com/development-platform/arduino/arduino-compatible-mainboard/im120411004.html Both also have the nrf24l01 adapter builtin for you MySensors network.

Nice work! I recently did things the "lazy" way and just bought a small amount of a lot of things, to build up a tinker kit...
