It seems to have all the basic I/O needed on board, so it could work off a port on an annex or portmaster. A handful of relays and some basic programming, and it should go (I hope). I'm not much of an EE, but I think I can hack it together. The hardest part should be triggering a relay off the board. If it works, I'll post details.
