Did you end up making your boards? I thought your thread said something about selling them...

That post was made today, so no progress since then. The pcb you see I have a few more of but they are not assembled, and I'd like to do some more testing.

Japroach, if you are using an Atmega you are using an Arduino... well, kinda. The Arduino is based on an Atmega 328... and some basic hardware to get it powered up and to read/write over USB.

The rest of it is just the IDE (Independant Development Environment? I think.) which is the loading software and coding software and language and stuff.

In short it turns all that you had up there in to:
In other words... a microcontroller for dummies. Like me! :rainfro:

yup, you are correct. It is a great package to play with micros for only ~$25.

I just work with what I'm used to, low level and no libraries :/.

I like where this thread is going. I still think the best way would be for mach to output the PPM pulse instead of the extra hardware.

I agree, but I suspect Art is busy with other things.
You may want to look at EMC2, as the code can be contributed by anyone.
