Yeah, this is something that’s concerned me about DIY electronics nowdays: the over-emphasis of microcontrollers. It’s so easy to just code up a brute force solution to most problems that we’re losing the art of designing elegant circuits. (It’s not just DIY either, commercial electrical engineering is leaning this way as well)

Still, cool project!

For the amount of functionality required for a safety system, even a PIC would be overkill. Neglecting the voltage readout part, you could accomplish the same thing with some op-amps.

But damn, it looks so cool.
