The control mechanism is, of course, not up in the tower, but in a closet off of a publicly-accessible student space right next to the tower. With the hinges on the outside of the door. ;^> The control unit itself doesn't allow you to just program in a new sequence (lots of four-tone songs that would have been fun... Jingle Bells was, I think, what I was planning); you can set it for three or four pre-programmed chimes, test a specific bell, or put the system in "test mode", which just rings all the bells at random until you tell it to stop. So, we inversed the order of the wiring from the control unit to each of the solenoids. Worked well enough. :^> -- gabriel rosenkoetter gr@eclipsed.net Attachment:
