Hi Joe,

Thank you for the write up. There should be some sort of requirement to "read this first" before being able to log on but that would deter the people that are in a "hurry" to finish a complete design by tomorrow morning.

It's frustrating!

We were all noobs at one time or another! As for the time machine idea, I think you will need a bigger PIC or maybe many PICs with an RS485 link between them all.
