As for programming hardware, I use a Warp-13 from Newfound Electronics as

Drifting off-topic somewhat, but I'll second teh vote for the Warp-13
- it's what I use, and it works nicely.

On topic, it's a PIC that monitors and switches my tank heating (I
have three heaters and a particular sequence I want them to swicth in
, for various reasons). Although they have a useful current drive
it's obviously not uop to heating purposes, so the PIC drives a
transistor drives a mains relay.
