Jun 28 04:25:22 <wiseoldow1> I would like to know if there are any plans anywhere for using the NSLU2 (unslung) to control external LED's (not the ones in the NSUL2 itself), relays, triac-controlled circuits, power outlets or whatever - my goal would be to ssh into the NSLU2 and run some piece of software that would turn a relay on or off, etc.  Goal would be to remotely power-cycle a computer.
Jun 28 06:08:28 <rwhitby> wiseoldowl: USB->Serial->Serial-controlled relay box (see www.kitsrus.com)
Jun 28 06:09:08 <rwhitby> echo T4 > /dev/ttyUSB0 (to toggle relay #4)
Jun 28 06:10:05 <rwhitby> that's what I use in http://www.flickr.com/photos/rwhitby/420848340/in/set-72157594574977123/

Jun 28 15:56:15 <wiseoldowl> Thank you rwhitby, but I was sort of hoping for a solution from here in the USA - we fortunately don't have to deal with "lead free" electronic kits here (that is just nuts - as much soldering as I did when I was a kid, I should have been dead 30 years ago.  Whatever group passed that regulation has lost their minds, IMHO).
Jun 28 15:57:51 <wiseoldowl> I do appreciate the suggestion though.
