Here's the Basic Stamp microcontroller that I'm working with to control the VO valves. The grey wires coming in from the left go to an AD590 temperature sensor that is embedded in the copper coils that go around the grease filter. The small black cable on the right is power, and the larger cable on the right connects to a laptop so I can see what's going on real time as I develop the thing.

In this picture, the red and yellow LED's on the right are the LED's that will go behind my dashboard button. The red and green LED's on the left are simulating the valves -- I've been driving around in this mode to monitor what the program *would* do if I had it connected to the valves.
