That is some really cool input, I have to do some datasheet digging and
hacking. I'll try to set everything up today, tomorrow I can hang in
the lab after hours and test things out!

Partihban suggested that Microchips support might be able to help with
testing, might give them a ping soon as I a solid plan.

Really appreciate the insight!
