DIY Lighting Control Board

Controlboard
The current article in the "Gadget Freak" section of www.designnews.com highlights an interesting lighting control board project for you DIY’ers out there.  The board, which measures 2 by 2 inches, will control lighting for towers, running and crossing lights, storefront lights or any other accent lights on a model train layout.  According to the article:

"The microcontroller-based application enables the selection of
four display formats using five outputs, including combinations of
sequenced, bouncing, and dual beacon displays."

The article includes down-loadable instructions and a parts list.  I priced out all the parts on the Allied Electronics website (the sponsor of the Designnews.com article) for a grand total $31.20 plus shipping.
