[RE-wrenches] Morningstar relay driver configuration help

[Mick Abraham]

Hi, Nathan~

The Morningstar Relay Driver doesn't care regarding the channel number to
which a certain trigger has been assigned. The unit will act when your
parameters are met regardless of the channel number hierarchy.

I wish that M-star had some "wizard type" Windows software that could lead
one through the setup. The capabilities of that hardware are huge if only
one can navigate the configuration issues.

Adam Kehlenbeck at Morningstar provided me with good technical support in
2010. If you contact him be sure to ask if he or another M-star technician
would be willing to join the Wrench List in order to educate us all. The
manus would all save time & trouble if they would address technical issues
in an "broadcast" fashion; the Wrench List is the perfect medium for that.

Adam's contact info is as follows:
