Fixed Uly's swing...sorta

So Uly has this awesome swing...

I bumped into it two days ago and knocked it over, damaging the motherboard (modest though it may be) so that it functioned only erratically.

Anyway, I thought, lets cut out the digital middleman and install a rehostat (that's the knobby dially thing that turns the dining room lights up and down)

Enter me to Radio Shack and a $2.99 volume control knob. Two hours and a sliced up middle finger later, it works -- sorta.

It's too fast and the control too sensitive. The volume control is a potentiometer, not exactly a rehostat, but I don't know the difference.

Back to the drawing board. ("And Pa goes sailin' thru the winder!")
