HI,
I am very new to this and thought that I would see if I could get a board to flash and then hook up some lights.
I have a couple dozen SSR's and some knowledge of talking to the parallel port in DOS (for Halloween), so I think I can do this.
I just missed out on a probably decent board on Friday due to having to go out of town.
I am looking for a good board, complete, that works, for a reasonable cost. The cable is a plus, but I think I can make one easily from all of the instructional help I have found on this nice website. I would rather have a tested functioning board, but if there is a board that needs populated with ALL of the components included, I would consider that also. This would be my first attempt at something like this.
My Halloween display includes using ATMEL Tiny 13's to turn on/off pneumatic, sound and strobe controls on a hand built opening coffin I have been using for 5 years now.
Thanks to anyone that can help.
