Today I finally got some time off and was able top print some parts for mounting the microswitch for home position and for securing the pogopins. The sparkgap ended up being over 50mm on each lead. All that is left now is to figure out how to power it and make it run on backup power during storms and build all the electronics. I also want to make it top off the backup batteries by itself. I think i should run a test by connecting this to my DSL now and see if it syncs up at the correct speed.
