Yes, I believe you should be able to get all the parts at your local Radio Shack -- I'm fairly certain I did, though it's been a while and I had some of the more common items on hand already. You will probably want to find someone local who has some experience building circuits before you tackle this project. It's not terribly difficult, but I wouldn't want to have this as my very first circuit. Thankfully most of the components come in multiple packs, so you'll have plenty of spares! A fews years back I needed help with a custom circuit design and managed to locate an EE in an online forum living close by who was willing to advise. Good luck! Thanks!

I started my dust collection system today and want to incorporate this into it. One problem... I can barely spell electrical never mind build a circuit. Could I take a printout of "http://www.sentex.net/~mec1995/circ/alt2.html" to my local Radio Shack and buy the parts? Would they know what I needed? They might even recommend someone to help me with it. Any input would be greatly appreciated! I love this system! I started my dust collection system today and want to incorporate this into it.

The circuit's not at all difficult to construct, though I probably wouldn't recommend it as your very first project. As for the input voltage, I used 5vdc from an adjustable brick adapter. The voltage requirement is noted on the circuit. Good luck! So far this has worked beautifully for me…I’m very pleased with the outcome.

Since you did this in March how has this setup workded for you? I am wanting to follow your lead on this and do the same setup... but I dont have any electronics experience so will need to find someone to build the box you did. What are you using for the input voltage on the box that controls the X10 transmitter? Ken ken@akabrown.com Question for you… Since you did this in March how has this setup workded for you?
