Problem solved....next problem....

But, that doesn't explain why it works exactly as intended when
manipulated by hand. It acts as if it is rate dependent. Move the
switches quickly and it works, move them slowly and it doesn't.

Since the system turns out not to go into endless cycle mode, I may
just go back to simple parallel switches. I want to understand the
lack of cycling better though and be sure it isn't something dependent
on the lines and strainers being new, etc.

I agree about the relays and wouldn't use this system in a boat where
it cycled a lot like a leaky wooden boat. In this case however, relay
action will be pretty infrequent. I still want to get it working
though. As they say, the journey is the destination.


By the way, I fixed a Russian TV set by remote control a few weeks
ago.

That's too cool. Great world we live in. I hear doctors are going to
start performing operations over the net with robot manipulators.
They already use them in the operating room. Once you are using the
monitor and the joysticks anyway, it doesn't matter how long the wire
is.
