Your point here is valid. We do need to experiment with the signaling
wiring and procedure. Potentially we could say any press and releases
in a 2 second period count as one. Your turn is automatically 2 seconds

It's tricky we need to play with it. I'm hoping to get 2 rcxs and a
control lab hooked up passing turn this weekend.

How are you planing to do it. We need to ensure that all methods of
passing turn will be compatible.
