This is really annoying now.

The thing is that there is already a relay on the PSU itself that can be used, so that we don't need a second one. It really shouldn't be that complicated to have a simple version, I don't know why noone has built and published an open-source shutdown controller that is easy to make yet. It can't be all that difficult.

I'm working on a spec right now, but unfortunately my limited knowledge of electronics is making it difficult to proceed, however if I get it working then I will integrate it with my version of the sproggy power supply.
