With the code for the I2CNetIOC's now complete, I have been working on a servo controlled version of the LGB remote de-coupler ramp. The files for the ramp are now up on Thingiverse / GrabCAD, however I have not yet properly tested the servo housing - this should be out in the wild some time soon. Thanks to

And lastly, some WiDCC boards being made and tested:
