Hello,
I am wanting to start a project, but there are several questions rolling around my head even before I start that I am hoping you may be able to help me answer.
My project in general would be a device that takes the place of a switch pannel. Instead of having several physical switches you just have a couple buttons to scoll to what switch you want to turn on, and another button to actually turn it on or off. I would have this device trigger relays so output voltage shouldn't be too much of an issue.
This seems like an easy job for a PIC of EPROM, but I have absolutely no programming experiance with this. I am also not sure if this is the right path to go down.
If something like a PIC would work, what one do I choose?
Is there halfway inexpensive software out there to help me program it?
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
