Sounds good, Roger! Oh Heck, they were only like $1.80 each anyway, including shipping! hehe. I like the idea of manual control over the A/C. May as well have hardware current limiting too! The hardware current limiting parts are like $2! You can even use the same PCB layout, just with a different resistor value before the 383 comparator, to set the current limit to something more reasonable (like NOT 500 amps. unless it's a really really hot day).

Oh Dear! I need to order some ATMega16's! All the digikey and mouser stuff came today, but I forgot to order the ATMega16's. I'm such a whippersnapper sometimes.
