DIY Controller

[bjohanson1234]

Well, since I like DIYing, and like to challenge myself, I have decided to attempt to build a controller for my tank.

Here is the website of the process, still under MAJOR construction. I havent ordered the microcontroller and there will be a steep learning curve for that.

Ordered the microcontroller. That way I can start playing with it while I save up for the LEDs that it will be controlling:mrgreen:

Pretty cool BJ, those are some interesting DIY kits there.

It isnt going to be cheaper than a commercial one, but will be more fun to build:mrgreen:

Your website needs more pics!! :D I want to be able to visualize each step of the process!

Right now, it would be a pic of me trying to figure out the free web editor program:mrgreen:

Once I get the kit, I will definantly post some pics.

Did you happen to check out the links page?

So will I :mrgreen:

I should have the kit by the end of this week or begining of next week. Then just have to teach myself how to program it. The kit does come with a great PDF file from what I hear which makes it more expensive than some other micro controller programers, but since I would need a book or help anyways, I felt it was worth it.
