Mods for Camplite 21RBS

Definitely looking forward to the homebrew status board!

Definitely my kind of mod.  Back in the mid-80's when I was in middle school I hooked up my Atari 130XE computer's joystick ports to a breadboard which had reed relays.  The relays then drove a X10 controller (wireless home light control system).  If I remember right the X10's processor read the buttons in a grid so the 8 digital outputs from the computer let me select one of eight X10 channels plus any of the 6 function buttons (on, off, all on, etc).  I wrote a program that let me control the lights like a timer via a script I wrote as an array to disk (channel 5 on at 5 pm, channel 3 off at 8 pm...), including extra logic that handled problems like a power outage.  My family went on a 5 week vacation leaving the house lights in the hands of the computer.  Came home with the wrong lights on and the computer locked up.  Didn't know what was wrong at the time but knowing what I know now, I'm guessing it was a memory leak issue. 

Oh yes, the arduinos are really cool.  Between kids and chores around the house I don't get to tinker much anymore but I'm sure I'll get back to it in a few more years.  I've wanted to make a complete home-control/monitoring system from either an arduino or a micro PC for a long time.
