[TowerTalk] Tailtwister Rotor Transformer Update

[WA3GIN]

Thanks to all those that responded direct. 

I replaced the little meter transformer with a replacement transformer (120VAC input 27VAC output).  This time I fused the output of the transformer. I connected it to the EXROTOR board and all operates normally.  I let it cook for an hour and the transformer temperature appears normal. 

I conclude the failure of the transformer was incedental and not related to the installation of the EZROTOR control board....a coincedence!?

During the testing I noticed the CPU of the PC runs almost 100% when using LP Rotor interface software.  Has anyone out there using LP Rotor noticed this and if yes, what did you do to free up the CPU cycles for use by other devices and applications?

As always please answer direct.
