Torque converter, home made electronic push button

I was a bit tired off my transmission going into lockup when I was driving around in the city.

So, I built myself an electronic bord to control the torque converter on my 700R4 with the push button of my B&M shifter. It basically make the push button act as a toggle switch. The board disable the selenoid of the torque converter as the car start. The led shows that it is off. When i'm on the highway, a simple push on the B&M button and it's enable than engage the torque converter . When I turn the car off , it goes back to disable.
