Purpose Infrastructure

There are three Baytech RPC28A powerbars which can be used for fun and infrastructure projects. Each RPC contains 21 IEC 'C13' connectors, the same as you can find on the end of a standard computer cable. We can either hack one RPC to use 'kroonsteentjes', or get some C14 connectors or cables.

Ruby Script to interface with the thingamagic on github

Unfortunately, the RJ-45 is totally incompatible with the standard blue Cisco cable. So, in the absence of spare DB-9 connectors, I have been trying to make a working serial cable out of junk parts: not handy.

Some ideas about the eventual system have been worked out at Cut/ElectricityManagement.
