Having fitted sensors to the roof so that the software I'm writing can tell the status of the roof (open/closed/part open), I now needed to control the power to my mount and CCD camera.
I have built a simple relay box which controls the power to the mount and CCD. This is shown below. The relays are switched on/off by the K8055 and they turn on/off mains power to my two PSUs. Simple but effective!
I also have a webcam pointing at the PSUs so I can check for power lights if I ever need to.
