Forgive me for going so far astray, but for some reason when this picture popped up I thought that the antenna was actually a crank - as in to start an old Model T. I admit it, I need some sleep.TWIRELESS (tweist) came up with an idea to merge a Renard controller with a Pi by using the Pi's gpio triggers, thus remapping the gpio ports to Renard channels. Of course, we made it wireless using an XBee as well... along the way, Ted discovered some tricky things associated with gpio timing but once sorted out, it resulted in the plugin board below that worked extremely well and very consistently with FPP.
