Need a Inexpensive project that will give you a taste of Microprocessors?  Well try this beauty.  Originally featured in QEX magazine, I believe on the front cover.  It was inexpensive and a great learning situation.  It features the 16F88  processor  with a  few additional parts and the hex  code and source were provided... Can't ask for more... It's my Cool Box!  My  $.88 pencil box from Target. Total  project cost, about $35.
