To add something positive to the conversation, you might be interested in: http://screwdecaf.cx/yatc.html an opensource AVR design for a simple, useful temperature controller.=20 Available as kit or assembled, or you can download all the design info=20 and make it yourself. Disclaimer: Mikey (the designer) is a friend of mine= .. A forum for AVR microcontrollers: avrfreaks.net I design with PICs, have done only a few AVR designs, and while I hope=20 you stay on PIClist, the most important thing is for you to be able to=20 build something useful and learn new things in a positive online=20 environment, wherever that may be. Good luck to you! J DIN ROFIE wrote: > Olin wrote: >> 1 - Are you really trying to control the temperature of something, > or is this a homework assignment?
