Kewl. Now add a LED or LCD display that shows the fan RPM. That'll take more than 10 minutes. Maybe an hour.

Once you start adding things like LCDs to the Junebug you'll quickly run into the problems I encountered before I did my PortB Mod to my Junebug.

When I later did a PortB Mod for the Firefly, I added the improvements I forgot to put on the Junebug one. They're mentioned in the Junebug article. Look at both projects before going ahead.

These are very nice for the price. Be sure to have some single row header on hand too.

DipMicro has an Ebay store that may possibly be more convenient for you, since you're in the US.

Well you could use the UART tool to display the RPM. Have you tried it yet?

I've put a reaction timer game on my site (on the Junebug page) that uses the UART Tool.

I did some Junebug RS232 code a while back. I'm pretty sure it'll work fine with the PICkit2 software UART Tool. Try it out. Then take it apart and change/improve it to suit your purposes.

Oh ya, you may be looking for my original LCD on Junebug post. That's the one where I discovered that PortB would be better for an LCD and inspired me to do the PortB Mod.

Here it is:
