Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

is this the expansion system that the relay controller board I WON will work with and when will that be coming my way WINK WINK.


Dont worry I remember about You. Shift register card is the base that will be used for relay card, relay card is coming next and You will get it!

I will need the expansion system as well but will I need the power module or is that only needed for some cards?  I might be amendable of getting the Mouse joystick and Nunchuck board instead if that is less expensive for you(see I'm being all noble like ;-} ).  So what are the parts you need to get up and running with this? It looks like a very robust design like all of your offerings.  Thanks.

Due to HT chip that is quite expensive and imported from UK mouse module will be most expensive in my opinion.

Power module will be required for very power hungry boards, relay board will be power hungry so most probably it will be needed. Maybe one relay card will work without power module but this I will have to test.

So... why is the Hobbytronics mouse interface even a "thing" anymore? Isn't it "instantly obsolete" now that there's native PS/2 support?

Hi Piotr,
if the new version should have again somehow ESP module included (or on external cartridge), don't forget possibility to RESET just ESP separated from CMM2 (maybe sacrifice one output pin?). This is feature I miss too much

The Hobbytronics interface caters for a much larger range of mice including wireless models which some people prefer.
