HowTo: 8 Port Parallel Port Controller with Extension cords  (John_ Krellner)


                              

Step 1 : See other submission

I started with Gregg Hormann's howto
and made some modifications...

Step 2 : Wire the Box


Instead of using regular outlets, I just purchased 8 50' extension cords from Lowes. I cut off the male end and now have a more weather resistant container.

Step 3 : Add the Extension cords


See step above

Step 4 : Installed in my window


I cut a piece of plywood - applied weather stripping, cut a hole. Now I have all of the SSR's indoors and only the outdoor extension cords outside.

Step 5 : Finished Product from outside


View from outside.
I have been writing some perl scripts to control my lights. What kind of software is everyone else using?
