Thanks! I have a special project I've been thinking about that's perfect for a microcontroller....

Good Job. I had a good time checking out your comprehensive tutorial. You are definately the "Paper Master".

Well I've been wanting to make a Stargate Horus costume for some time now- except I want it to have a full animatronic head! I already have the servos and I've even got all the movements/mechanics figured out. Of course the head will be made mostly from cardboard. Heck, I'll even do a tutorial.

The other things that could be done with this controller would be an R2 (who wouldn't want one) or even something like a full animatronic Predator.....

Here's the skinny on the controller:

It has eight analog inputs, eight digital outputs and four servo outputs. Pretty cool stuff.

Cool bro, everytime I enter a costume contest I get beat by a girl in a thong or something like that... glad you won!
