Hey folks:


I think I finally found a cost-effective gizmo for tty motor power -- the  
PowerSwitch Tail II

Only 26 bucks and worldwide versions available.  Not UL-listed, but  the 
PCB looks like a safe layout (peek at the kit, but buy it  assembled).
To get a UL-listed relay like this from a place like russound or xantech  
will cost about 100 bucks.
I started looking at little relay/driver pcbs at sparkfun and then  
dealextreme, but found that lots of them had low-voltage circuitry or  groundplane 
too close to hv traces.  This gizmo looks like a decent  design.  Too bad it 
is not UL-approved, but then it would cost twice as  much.



I've ordered a couple to play with and I'll let you know what I  find.
