Want to eliminate the battery ritual?
joe:
Got sick of the infamous battery ritual to
reset the CM15A. So I installed a normally
closed pushbutton on the case and wired it in
series with U5. When pushed, it interrupts
power to the 5 volt regulator and resets the
controller. You dont even have to unplug it!

Hi,
Any picture of that ?
Thanks
joe:
You dont really need a picture to accomplish
it. Just get a small normally closed
pushbutton and drill a hole in the side of
the case to mount it. Then cut the lead from
the regulator input and wire the switch in
series with it. Nothing fancy, the switch can
go anywhere. I used a small one I had laying
around that required a 1/4 inch hole. I
drilled it in the side of the case about even
with the antenna but on the opposite side. A
quick push and the CM15A is hardware reset!
If you still want a picture, I will take it
apart this weekend and take a shot.

This is a band aid to the problem and x-10
should just fix this issue, but I like your
end user innovations!
