Hey Guys,
This probably won't interest many, but maybe some. I never liked having to reach down to change my preset channels, so I basically didn't.

So, I finally did something about it. I built a little circuit that will step from the first to the sixth channels. You could add one more output and have all 12 channels available. That is more than I need and a bit tedious to step through.

I found a place to cram a small push button switch on the handlebar. I like it.

I built two options. The first one is probably more dependable. Once it worked, I rebuilt it neater/cleaner and used a slightly different reset. Both work. Maybe someone like EC could mass produce these.

Anyway, here are some pics:

:yes:

Sorry for taking so long... I've been temporarily "reassigned" to finish a bathroom grouting project, get a 300 foot row of board fencing stained and erected, and several spring time yard tasks :icon_frown:

It's still on my radar...
