Yeah, That would be me. I've been tinkering with a digital microcontroller
based replacement for the control box part on and off for quite a while now.
Lacking an oscilloscope I've been unable to nail down the ideal PWM
frequency to get the proper kind of fine control over the solenoid valve.
Having to  unload 200 lbs of tools from my van to test it hasn't helped
either! Still trying, though. Still trying.
