Oh I dont need anything like drilling doing, thats my headache!

Its a prototype for a car alarm for myself and some friends, I've
designed it, wrote the software for it, and I'm going to put it up on
my site as a project for others to build one if they want etc, its
essentially PD hardware, and its development has been 'blogged' on
digital car uk

Just a pic chip and a load of transistors.

Its spot on, but I have not had a working one since!

And these ones are a 1/4 of the size of that one, look!
