on cowardice

been avoiding turning on the k machine and keeping myself busy with other projects albeit the want to knit. the reason is that the capacitors blew again and i changed them doing the whole soldering bit once more. having done it once and having seen the tech do it i feel more confident than the first time. but it was too hot to deal with frustration and i procrastinated till cooler times. now the time has come, but i haven't gathered the courage.

i want/need to change the turning on system; i would like to use the computer for that bypassing the circuit board and capacitors and using an arduino in between.this hack will do away with capacitors forever.no more blowing. 

i think it can be done , but i need either a tech or a set of good instructions.

there are some projects burning brain cells and i want to start working asap.

meanwhile the quest for a tech begins.again.
information appreciated.
