Re: IFI Control System (OI/RC) - The Future???

My guess would be they are switching out the PIC.. with all the problems that we initally had, why keep it? There has to be a better model that doesn't require disabling parts of memory

The old PBasic controllers had parallel ports for sensor connectors.. Those were probably gotten rid of because of the number of wires you had to solder to them.

There are free pins in the program cable, you could fairly easily wire up remote switches using a break out box on both ends.
