Tomo, you are right about this project being complex and a serious engineering undertaking. I did not mean to sound arrogant and am sorry if anyone was offended by my comment.

That said, one of the last real engineering projects I worked on was to design a lynchpin structural system for a medium-lift capability launch vehicle through which systems from 3 different departments in the company I was working for were routed. More specifically, I designed the payload attachment fitting for a launch vehicle equivalent in size and complexity to a Boeing Delta 2 rocket. The system I was responsible for integrated the fairing, payload, and second stage of the vehicle and required the routing of propulsion and avionics lines through it all while complying with structural design criteria and being lightweight enough to put on the rocket. To make the task more difficult, I also had to deal with thermal expansion and contraction issues (since this sat right above the liquid oxygen tank) and various other pressing design constraints. Oh yeah, I also had to deal with all the political stuff anyone deals with when working on an interdisciplinary team. Oh, and I was also responsible for making vendors and the guys in the shop get their jobs done as far as my project went.

Compared to that, this project is child's play. I may not have the specific knowledge right now to complete this, but I am learning lots every day as I read through AVR freaks and the like. This sort of thing is fun and laid back for me whereas the above job pushed me on a daily basis to my technical and psychological limits. If you are curious, I will tell you more about it, but I think you'll understand I can't say anything too specific, such as who I was working for.

Hey, thanks again for the assistance. Speaking of which, I don't have pictures but I do have video. Is it possible to upload video onto this site?
