That's just too awesome for words!

That sounds awesome! Good idea! I never thought until now that pre-done PCBs could be so versatile!

DEAL! Just give me the behavior you want it to have, and I'll take care of the rest. I probably could even use the humble little ATMega8 for this one. hehe. I still have 9 left in the garage.

Ever seen the A-Team? I love it when a plan comes together!
