I've checked all the components. The simulator says I should be getting 4.76V at the relay. No idea what I've done wrong 😅. There is enough to light the first LED on the relay, but not the second (red, when it's closed). Jumper set to low, on high I don't even get that.

It's a face 🤦🏻♂️. I never noticed before.

There is precedent. Ended badly.

I'm getting there. The problem is I don't see 5V at the relay terminals, so the relay never closes. I guess (GCSE physics was many years ago) that the resistor is causing too much of a voltage drop. I'm seeing 0.12V there.
I may, of course, just have miswired/missoldered/misunderstood it 😅.

My snowshoes, my companion on many an unwise winter excursion 🗻 for maybe the past 5 years.
Two of the plastic nuts have snapped off, no idea when. Can I find the replacement part? Can I, fuck. I can only find the entire side pieces kit, €70 🙄. I only need two tiny lugs! I still have the screws.

We saw it being stalked by lions, but our guide shouted to warn it.
About five minutes after telling me they (the guides) had to stay neutral out there 😅.

The problem? I can't for the life of me work out how to get one of those modules to introduce a delay on control signal (from the receiver USB) on power off. The documentation looks like an automatic translation from Chinese and thus is wonky wonk 🤯.
I think I'll also need a hi/lo relay but 🤷🏻♂️

So, I've added a timer module that adds a delay for the amp on power on, so I no longer get a pop when I turn everything on.
This leaves power off. I need the amp to go off immediately and the preamp after a delay. This will require another module.

The LFE output of the receiver is connected to a tube preamp, and its outputs in turn to an amp which drives the buttkickers.
The preamp and amp have their own transformers, and these are turned on and off via a relay controlled by the USB output of the receiver.
