I am currently bench building my control system and I am curious if there is a way to have one of the output relays to mirror the heartbeat to an external light? My intent is to have my Acorn in a closed box under the mill and I will not know if there is a heartbeat without opening the box.
Thanks!

Re: Remote heartbeat
Some in the past have used fiber optic light guides to reposition the heartbeat.

Confidence is the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.
I have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are where they should be.

Re: Remote heartbeat
you'll find once you get the machine configured and running you never look at the heartbeat again.

Re: Remote heartbeat
Thanks much, I figured I was overthinking it.
