Or
"a PIC16F84 based network control module"
This design is based around Denis Petrov's "WWW server in a PIC16F84". This is designed to control upto eight outputs from a computer network. Such uses are buzzers heaters or small motors.
To be perfectly honest I was planning on using it in my green house with a web cam so I don't have to water anything. I will be getting some silicone pipe (with holes in it from a thumb tack) and a water pump and essentually, tending my tomatoes and cress from my bedroom. (Although I do understand that the current draw from the pump motor will surely damage the 7805 or at best cause the current to drop and reset the 'F84. I plan to use a solderless breadboard and some discreet componants for that purpous. Could anyone lend some helpful critisism?
I have sent the files to jamesnewton@piclist.com and hope to hear about it in the near future.
If this were to win could you contact me so I can add some boards to the order, as this unit is indeed quite small.
