Module heartbeat monitor with 15 inputs and LCD

This module was part of the rack box project — which was terminated when I moved out of my first apartment.
MSMU2 installed in the Rack box

Every AVR driven module has an output with a pulsating signal called lifesignal. This is connected to MSMU2, if this signal should come to an end MSMU2 will sound a module timeout alarm. The signal needs to be absent for 10 seconds before the alarm sounds.

MSMU2 can monitor 15 modules, a LCD display shows the status: 

#n/a means not connected
Ok→21 means ok, and the remaining timeout

If a module should fail MSMU2 will only show the failed module numbers, alarms must be reset manually using a push button.
