Just watch out, generally there are water-sensitive stickers in there which will blur when exposed to the elements. You should see them...
Oh yeah, here is the PICList's take on this. There are some very good ideas that get around the MAX232 chip....
Skip the MAX232, you can get away without using it for a while until your chip comes in. The F84 is a cheap uC anyway. Tell me again why you are...
fan ctontroller IC Linear, Check out Microchip's TC646. It does essentially the same things as the MIC502, plus it should be easily obtained....
PWM or what? Can someone tell me what current limiting scheme these use? Is this PWM or is this an adjustable voltage regulator? Thanks....
