MOTM

I can attest to the fact that there aren't many tools available for this little guy.
 It works OK but the tools are a bit of a pain.  In this application it can work
very well, in fact it might be a bit of overkill.  You could probably do it cheaper
with other parts but probably not faster in terms of development time.

We recently eradicated AVRs from a system I've been working on but it was a wildly
different application.  The tools were a pain but weren't the main reason to get rid
of them.  The system had evolved to a point where the complexity of a set of AVRs
(one on each board in a multi-board system) was no longer necessary.

Hmmm, there are lots of voltage control devices you could make out of an AVR and a
similar panel layout...  I wonder if Tony has some other ideas up his sleeve?  It
seems that you could make a simple sequencer at least....
