Hi, I know you want to build one but after dinking around with several different units, I just went and bought some gecko G201 controllers and they are incredible. Most of the units you see for sale have these in them. I built my controller around these and it works great. I couldn't find Gecko's website but here is a company that sells them. I got mine cheaper off of Ebay. Good luck, FJ http://industrialhobbies.com/cgi-bin/merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=G201&Category_Code=GAA _________________________________________________________________ MSN Toolbar provides one-click access to Hotmail from any Web page FREE download! http://toolbar.msn.com/go/onm00200413ave/direct/01/ -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
