Here is everything almost done. Note that I put the remote card and my custom card into a separate enclosure... mostly because of the presence of 120V on the custom card (and there was space for the remote card). There will also be a cover on this enclosure, and there is a cover for the whole thing. The Weeder cards will be velcro'd in a vertical position.

This is the circuitry used to convert the AC voltage into something that I can more easily measure. Note that I tried to keep distance between all 120V connections and everything else.

The cabinet insides after completion (I later had to move the weeder cards a bit to get them away from the RF transmitter some). I even caught some Weeder traffic in action!

This is the same as the remote I purchased at Home Depot and butchered, except the one I bought did NOT have a forward/reverse button. However, the board inside DID have the forward/reverse contacts. I decided not to control this feature, anyways.
