HHB Portadisc Remote Control Unit
One of the big advantages of the HHB Portadisc is its remote control interface. However, there does not appear to be a generally available control unit to connect to it. So, I decided to design and build my own.
You may need to refer to the remote control interface details in the Portadisc User Manual.
