Wow, that was a great description of EVERYTHING, Thank You! I need to do a little studying now and look at the data sheets for the devices. I am getting a little better at figuring those out. Also, I think I may have a couple of the parts already and I might try to breadboard this myself. You certainly picked up the Arduino programming very quickly, as well as ALL of the other stuff too. I would agree that the transistors that JGL suggested would make for a smaller package when finished.
The only thing that didn't come through was the picture, it says 'Image Not Found'. I am guessing that it was the same picture that Prof Chaos posted above? If so I will just use his schematic.
Thanks again for taking the time to explain all this and with good parts links too. I am guessing there will be others interested in this as well. Great project and you got is all figured out pretty quickly too.
Please keep posting your progress and how your testing goes.
Thanks again for the update on the project with all the details!
