Well,

It WAS working just great, but I couldn't leave well enough alone. Went to tidy up some wires, and well, let's just say MOSFET's don't like it when you reverse the power leads. Made a nice flash though. Up to rat shack tomorrow for a new MOSFET.

Also the cost was a bit inflated as the only way to get a 3.3 Meg resisitor was to buy a bag of 300 misc values, of which I only needed 3. That alone would have been $17. So I opted to "make" a 3.3 Meg, which is why instead of 4 resistors you see 19.. lol - (3 1 Meg + 3 100K) * 3. Plus the one 10K resistor.

Total cost if they had all the parts I needed would have been around $10. I'll probably end up buying a commercial control, but it was a fun project, and it was pretty cool while it lasted.

It's still raining, so now my hobby for the day is now switching from soldering irons to aluminum cans, if ya know what I mean.
