I guess that should be a thing on the wish list. I am surprised there isn't one for Acorn considering it is in it's 12th version.

I talked to CNC4PC tonight and they are sending another board to rule out any issues with the C86.

Here's a thought, ditch the C86 and wire the motors direct to the Acorn. :mrgreen:

You can use 4 ch relay boards for the HLFB to interface to one Acorn Input or individual inputs to the ETHER1616.

You clearly are not looking in the right place, I just did an Amazon search and can have one at my house tomorrow if I needed one. :mrgreen: I can even get a 2 pack of them for $10.99 and they have 15 in stock. :shock:
