Here is the initial version of software for the Open Source Wig-Wag
project. I am sending this out for anyone who is interested to take
a look at the code as it stands today and provide feedback. This
initial version is what I will be using to do testing when I get a
controller board from Bob. I have done some initial testing on
a breadboard and it seems to function as expected but I have
not tested all of the details as yet. Feel free to provide any
comments, suggestions, questions, etc. My goal is to have
this as the initial starting point for an open source development
and I expect improvements to come from anyone who
wants to take the time to get involved. Please point out
areas where it can be improved...

I am putting together a description of the development tools
that I used as a reference for anyone else who might want
to get involved in software development for the project.

The power FETS for the joint collaboration on a new Wig-Wag are here. I thought I was going to get time to build some POC first articles last night . . . but one of the light fixtures over my bench crapped.

TWO lessons learned: These $10 Wallmart fixtures are very unfriendly for replacement of ballast. Further, if ballast replacement in less than 10 years is a modern reality, then make sure your installation is friendly to the task of taking the entire fixture down for replacement. The toggle bolts I used to hold a two-fixture strip to the ceiling went through close fit holes in the fixture (insert cursing and blood spatters here). NOW the bolt goes through a large clearance hole courtesy of Mr. Dremmel and his magic cut-off wheels. The next replacement will be easy.

Anyhow, I'll get the two POC items built this evening.
