A button box!

Ak, so it's been ages since the last post but I've been busy. Recently finished was a one-day project to control a Sanyo projector. Operation of the projector can be controlled via ASCII commands over RS-232. A more robust remote than the consumerish plastic thing was needed and so the button box came into being. Boasting a mighty PIC16F873A-04, a case recycled from an old KVM switch and three of the best buttons I've ever found, the thing kicks ass at it's (fantastically simple) job (Power on/off, shutter open/close). On to the next project....
